Gift
”I am relaxed by the levers and the signings. We want to make a competitive team, give Xavi the tools so that he can have a good team and I think we are on the right track”.
Reinforcement
”My dream is for Barça to become a world reference once more and we are working for it. If the economy does not recover, it is very difficult. We are achieving it, but we have to work even more. Football does not wait. You have to do it now. With Dembélé, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Kessié, Auba, Ferran… I think Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff are doing a good job”.
Lewandowski’s arrival
”Barça needs a goalscoring striker, incisive, like any great team. Robert is a machine gun. He has been Golden Boot several times. He guarantees goals and every great team needs a striker who guarantees goals. With him, with Ansu, with Auba, we have a goal guarantee. Nowadays the races are longer. On top of that, his wife is a nutritionist. When you have a woman who takes care of you…”.
Are more signings coming?
“Now it’s time to work on defense. Xavi has us oriented to a series of players and I hope that the Catalans can bring a few more joys. We have competed with teams like PSG and Chelsea to sign Robert and he wanted to come here. That is something to be thankful for. That and the maximum pressure that he has had to endure.”
