Ernesto Valverde has begun the 2018 with an extensive interview with the official means of the FC Barcelona, and in addition to valuing his feelings, aims and vivencias in the first months in the Camp Nou also has referred to varied of his players. The technician has valued to varied of the most veteran and to some surprises of the season.

One of the most commented names, during all his career but in particular from the arrival of the Txingurri, is the one of Leo Messi, to the that has gone back to put on everyone's lips with a light adjust tactical: "it speaks a bit of this, but think that already the past year did it and does years played of false forward. It can play well in any side. We need that it participate".

"It is the best player with which can find you in the world. It does extraordinary any balloon that receive. It is impossible to improve his balloons. I see how it faces the competition, the level of commitment and competitiveness that has and is an impulse for us", has explained on the Argentinian before gladdening of his renewal.

"This is a permanent career, and Messi knows that it comes him well rest"

Besides, also it has faced the subject of his little usual suplencias: "we do not deceive us, it depends on the results. Like the changes analyse after the parties... If a day rests one and lose, did it badly. And if it rests and you win, you are the smartest of the world. The own Leo knows it. After so many years, knows that this is a permanent career and is not easy to keep the level. He knows that this comes him well".

Another of the questions that has faced Valverde with regard to the Argentinian is if it will go back to move his position with the turn of Ousmane Dembélé, that could give back the 4-3-3 to the Barça. "We will go it valuing. Taking into account the posiciónes that occupy Leo, Luis... We have to go adapting us. We know that Messi can play in any place, but want to plant it of such form that pipe our attack. This will go it seeing", has manifested.

After defining the course of Neymar as "a moment very difficult", has spoken of the French, analysing the difficulties that supposed his drop: "Any player of the Barça has some different characteristics and has to adapt. Had players of an alike profile. His injury was a difficulty more. Have players for suplirlo and think that have done it well. In his moment was a hard hit, especially by him. It is young and could have some tension by the traspaso".

"We do not go to deny that the course of Neymar was a moment difficult"

To complete his comments on the trident, Valverde also has valued the campaign of Luis Suárez, removing importance to the bajón that suffered the Uruguayan in the first months of the course. "I give him importance to that the forwards have contact with the balloon, that have occasions. The tarpaulin already will arrive. The important is to have them. More still being a player with the quality contrasted of Luis. It is a statistical question. Give him a lot of balloons because it goes them to put. I have not been concerned never by this subject".

The big surprises

Although the of Andrés Iniesta no longer is a surprise, many have stood out the capacity of the Txingurri to take out the best of the captain, and has been the own trainer the one who has planted the merit in the manchego: "it Is to taste. It is truth that sometimes have to have care with him, but he controls well. I think that he knows when it is better. Sometimes I change it by rest, but also by things of the game. If Iniesta is headline, is because it wins it to him. Our players know that they can give him a balloon to Iniesta with a player hit to the back because no only does not go it to lose, but it goes it to you to give better".

One of the big triunfadores of the summer has been Paulinho, that arrived go in reproach and has taken little in turning into idol. "I gladden me a lot by him. When it arrived, as we were wrapped in this halo of pessimism, seemed that it was badly. It is an incredible player, with a lot of faith. It accompanies the game and relates well with Messi and Luis in the last metres. It arrives to zones in which there is not anybody", has aimed.

And also it has revealed that it always trusted Thomas Vermaelen: "Always I have seen it well. I saw him training and always saw him well. It is strong and always have thought that it could help us. His work is here. Besides, in parties complicated, against Valencia or the Madrid, think that has convinced more to the people that to me. To me already it had me convinced".
