Luis Enrique says he embodies Barcelona's style of football better than his counterpart Xavi Hernandez.
Lucho was unsurprisingly asked about the prospect of facing Barca and came up with the assertion that he represents the club’s style more than any other manager.
“Without a doubt, it’s me. It’s not an opinion, look at the statistics, in terms of possession, chances, pressing, trophies… Others might have a different opinion, but it’s definitely me,” he told reporters.
“It’s a completely different game for me, but I’ve faced them before, both as a player and as a manager. My love story with Barcelona goes back many years, but my profession comes first,” he added.
“I’ve known him as a teammate, as my player, but not as a coach. I know the club very well, but I don’t know whether it’ll be an advantage.
“Nobody can say that this Barcelona team is weak, they are strong. They’re doing well going forward, they have good players, and they’re a club with a lot of experience, having already won five titles. It’s not easy, but I’m feeling motivated.”
