Robert Fernández, ex technical secretary of the FC Barcelona before the nomination of Éric Abidal, spoke with the newspaper 'The Provinces' on his stage in the group barcelonista. The also ex player of Valencia or of the own Barça referred for example to the stage of Luis Enrique in the club. The castellonense praised to the Asturian by his work at the head of the team and ensured that it trusts that before or afterwards return to the Camp Nou.
"Luis Enrique is a big trainer and am convinced that it will go back to the Barça because it knows this club and this form to understand the football: it does not serve only win but win playing well", explained, referring to the so famous style of the Barcelona. In relation to this, added that the Catalans never have to negotiate his form to play. "The Barça does not have to negotiate never his style, is what has done it big: a 4-3-3, cheerful, assuming risks in defence to arrive with a lot of people up", commented.
In addition to this, Robert also remembered how was the arrival of Ernesto Valverde after the goodbye of Luis Enrique. The ex technical secretary culé recognised that the 'Txingurri' arrived in a moment complicated after the doublet of the Real Madrid and the goodbye of Neymar. "Luis communicates us that it wants to rest. And it arrives Ernesto in a moment difficult because the of Neymar was a very big stick in the pre-season. Besides, the Madrid wins us being upper in the Supercopa and this carries us to the self-criticism", affirmed.
In spite of the bad beginning of course, the Barça of Valverde knew to react and finish dominating this campaign in League and in Glass of Rey. In spite of the fuss in Champions League against the Rome, this year surpassed the expectations of many, included the ones of Robert, that left after three years in the club. "At the end we put us leaders and no longer removed us anybody, beating the record of parties without losing. We win the League and the Glass, against the Seville, and went my farewell. I worked very to taste with the two technicians", said, agreeing also of Luis Enrique.
Also it spoke the ex Barcelona on the big captain of the Barcelona, Leo Messi. For him, the rosarino does not command too much as they say some and knows perfectly which is the work of the technical office and which is his. "It commands what has to command. It is a very intelligent uncle, more than what the people can imagine. And it is important that he was to taste, because if he is well, everything will go well. But this is not to command, the responsibility is of the sportive director. I am the manager of everything. And also that the trainer seats sure", admitted.
It defended the signing and the projection of Dembélé
Finally, Robert referred to the signing of Ousmane Dembélé and to the situation of the French in the club. The Frenchman arrived in 2017 with him like technical secretary and therefore it defends his arrival and his projection, in spite of the injuries and of his price (105 + 40). "Has all the conditions: goals, the two legs, change of rhythm... The injuries have not given him continuity. It is very young and will change the dynamics. It paid a lot because the market was very inflated in these moments", remembered.
