🗣 "We are a club who try to play good, attractive football but we have the responsibility to win things and with the help of the fans we are going to achieve that."
🗣 "We have made some signings up to now, we have brought in players like Depay, Agüero and Eric who have come on free transfers and they are all excited about being here."

@FCBtv 🎙Ronald Koeman on the return of fans to the stadiums.
🗣 "I am excited about having the stadium full again, above all for the players. For me, personally it’s a dream to be at this great club and enjoy a full Camp Nou."
🗣 "We know how to play with a 4-3-3 but we also saw last season that three centre backs can work for us. These days, it is important for the team to know how to change systems."
🗣 "Frenkie has to keep going as he is. After his first season he has taken a big step forward and he has more responsibility in the team. He has improved going forward and we will keep working for him to get even better."

@gbsans ❗Barcelona have made it clear that they'll not a pay a single euro of Griezmann's salary. They cannot afford to repeat the same thing they did with Suárez.
• The priority is to reduce the wage bill. Sporting wise Barça don't fear his return to Atleti.
🎙Ronald Koeman to @FCBtv on the dressing room heavyweights.
🗣 "The most veteran players have a place in the squad, they already showed it last year and it is important that they be with us. In a club like Barça, the balance between the old and the young must exist."
🗣 "Messi is very important, he is the captain of the team and an example for others. His effectiveness has been enormous, after a difficult start due to his own situation." #FCB 🇳🇱 x 🇦🇷
🗣 "He really wanted to win the Copa América and, as he is the best player in the world, he is used to to win things. For me he is the absolute favorite to win the Ballon D'or." #FCB 🇳🇱 x 🇦🇷
