“He has played two games. In the previous season, it was difficult,” the Catalan boss admitted.
“Sometimes, it was my decision but mostly, it was down to injuries.
“It’s good. He was so concentrated and didn’t make mistakes. That’s what we want from the back four.
“If the opponents are good and make a good action, it’s not about this. Avoid mistakes and then the people upfront score goals.
“The ones who do this have the chance to play more games.”
