zubizarreta
The director of football Andoni Zubizarreta played down Barça’s record-breaking start to La Liga: “The objective is not to have the best start but to get to the month of May and win the title.”
However, he did note that the team has been “practically impeccable” in the first months of competitive play.
On the match, Zubizarreta went on to analyse Barça’s three-man defence: “It’s an addition option. It’s a strategy we’ve developed here at home. The manager is the one who decides these things.” He added: “This team has the capacity to play many different styles of football, even in the same match.”
On Villa, who scored one of Barça’s three goals, Zubizarreta said that “he never gave up and he’s showing us what he’s capable of.” He also congratulated Leo Messi for becoming a father and he said “everything that’s good for the person is good for the footballer.”
Perfect Barca
