The Canarian every time is playing better and feels more important, and seem to have won the confidence of his trainer.

Nevertheless, if something showed the Brazilian to principle of course was that it can be tremendously useful for the team. It is far of his best version of the Liverpool and his style of game does not finish to be the ideal for this Barça, but has quality and hit, by what could be important in a moment or another. Tusquets Thinks that this does not compensate his wage of all the year and wants to undo of him, but the last word will have it the new president on 24 January.
