ABOUT LEWANDOWSKI
“There are only one or two players like him”
“It is not a priority because we have to focus on this season. Of course we have to do the work for the future, but if we are working more on the future we have forgotten the present. We have to think about what we have .to do now and not what to do in the future because what happens this season can affect your future Lewandowski continues in the future at the same level he shows for me he is one of the best professionals I have seen in my life -score or at his level at 36 years They are just old for being high-level professionals and above the others. We are happy because he can connect well with the team, he can score goals against Real. .. I think it is very difficult to find a forward like Robert today. There are one or two at this level. Maybe Haaland or someone else. There are not that many available at this level. But we will not be obsessed with finding any striker now because we will focus on what Robert can do. I thought maybe he was happy to be here. “He is a winner and if we have an important season I think he will want to continue.”
YOUR CLAUSE
“Yes, but more than the clauses, football is not just that. Just as I said about renewals, if a player is not happy, he is not there. And if he is happy, what we have to do is win, work. at a good level, have a high level of working conditions, do things well and thus increase the chances of winning a player like Robert will not be motivated by money but by enthusiasm and I hope he wants to continue next season. it will be a sign that this season has been good.”

ABOUT HAALAND
“It’s Lewy level but we’re not looking for ‘9’ right now”
“First we have to know if Haaland is what we want in the future. We don’t know now. Today we don’t want any ‘nine’. We have Robert. We are not planning anything with any ‘nine’. When The time has come to make a decision and I have to make it because I am at the club, we will consider the options.

ABOUT GYÖKERES

We have won things and he is happy to be here. We are not going to talk about any player now.”

ABOUT TER STEGEN
“When he’s good we won’t sign a goalkeeper”
Find a replacement for him in the summer? “No. Marc still has a three-year contract, he’s still young for a goalkeeper, 32 years old, and we have to focus on him recovering well and coming back well. So having two goalkeepers that gives us guarantees is important, so as not to have “The rush for him to return. We are analyzing it little by little, I don’t think it’s something we have to consider now.”

ABOUT SZCZESNY
“The first thing that comes is to provide balance and competitiveness”
“He hasn’t played yet. His first goal is to provide balance, competitiveness, he is a person that the locker room is quite fond of, he has come with a positive spirit and that is important for a locker room dynamic. We are happy with what he The decision to play is always up to the coach, but I think being competitive in the team is important. working and respecting each other.

ABOUT DIOGO COSTA
“We are not thinking of signing him”
“First of all, he doesn’t come in because we have Ter Stegen. I don’t see a goalkeeper right now because when Marc is fine we won’t sign anyone for him. Also, if I were Diogo I don’t know. If I go to Barcelona to be a substitute We are not considering his signing and if I were in his place I would like to go to a club where I know I will play . I wish him and, above all, he wins at Porto.” .

ABOUT JONATHAN TAH
“We’re trying but the dynamics are changing”
“The dynamics in a squad change. There are times when you think about something because the need creates it, but then, during the season, things happen because in football one year, even if it seems small, is In this case, nothing We are planning without signing now We have Araujo, who will return, Christensen, Eric, Cubarsí and Iñigo the time will come when we will plan what we will do in the future but now we will not of the decision At that time that, we went to him because Bernal’s injury meant that Eric, a center back, played as a pivot because Casadó was more of an ‘8’ than a ‘6’, Gavi was unable to return His injury and all conditioned a decision of the moment, but the decisions of the moment, if it cannot be done, it is not that you have to do them next year.

ABOUT NICO WILLIAMS
“He was interested but he made his decision and life went on”
Nico is a player who is true that we were interested in the summer, that we tried, but from here, the player made a decision and life goes on. We brought in Dani Olmo, who is a priority because we don’t have this player in the squad. The idea with Nico was to have a player come before us to compete because we want a high level of competition, but as soon as the player shows that he has no interest to come, there is no more discussion.

ABOUT VITOR ROQUE
“He was attacked badly”
“He’s doing well, he’s scoring goals. Since I’ve known Barça, I can’t remember such an ugly attack on a young player who came from outside like Vitor Roque. Such nasty and bad criticism. I don’t know where it came from, I don’t know if it was an attack on me or the club, but I don’t think there was a personal attack against a strong and ugly 18-year-old boy, I mean very bad Strong, senseless, without any reason, we see now with Endrick a normal process of an 18-19 year old player going through a normal process and for me it’s very difficult to see him suffer and see what he made me 47 years old and I’m not used to some things either… What bothers me is that I think the attacks on Vitor are not about. him and I didn’t like it, the boy is innocent, that they signed he, that whoever the sports director, the coach or the president did not like him … He suffered. many. I’m happy for him that he’s playing for Betis and scoring goals and enjoying himself again. “He’s a young man with a lot of potential and will grow but I don’t remember an attack like that.”
