Review the table of positions of the Spanish league
Match against Athletic
” We know that in San Mamés it’s always a complicated match. Athletic has improved. They’ve done a six-week preseason and it shows. It’s a strong team and we know what we will find ”.
Braithwaite
” We know the club situation. If there is interest in a player, we listen. Martin is a player who is doing very well for us. He plays in different positions and the other day proved to be useful. For me, I think he has to stay. ”
Pedri
” We thought what was best for him. He will play tomorrow, but then he will have a break. We give Pedri a two week vacation. I’ve talked to Luis Enrique, but I can’t talk about it. ”
The ’10’ is free
” This is a club issue, not the coach’s. My opinion is not important ”.
Coutinho
” He’s out because I think he needs one more week with the group before he’s called up. I count on him because he’s a great player. I think it can be important for Barça. We need people like him. We lost a goal with Messi and he is one of those players ”.

Piqué and Ter Stegen
” I was surprised by Piqué’s alarm. He had a little discomfort, but it’s nothing. It is available for tomorrow without any problems. Ter Stegen needs to train more. We’ll see when it’s time to play. ”
The situation of Ilaix
” I talked to him two or three weeks ago. More as a person than as a Barça coach. His situation is horrible, for me. He is 18 years old, he is young. He has had the opportunity to play with the first team. It is the future of the club. And he’s in a situation where he doesn’t play. My advice is that money is not the most important thing. It’s playing matches. The player with his people decides differently and I am disappointed with that. That is not the most important thing. ”
Mbappé
” I train at Barça. I’m not interested. He is a great player. He has to choose, it’s not my problem ”.
Wear to train Barcelona
” Yes, it’s true, but I don’t feel alone in a year here. A lot has happened in one year, but I’m where I want to be. I love being the coach of this club. I know there is more pressure in the big clubs, but it’s a pleasure to be here. We know we have to win and that’s not a problem. ”
Pjanic and Umtiti
” We know we have too many players. We are missing Dembélé, Agüero, Mingueza … It is the player’s decision, but he has a complicated situation ”.
