Eusebio delighted with Barça
Marc Guillén / Anna Segura
Former Barça player and coach, Eusebio Sacristán, is back in Barcelona at the moment and is hugely impressed by his old team.
Eusebio Sacristán, one of the key members of the Dream Team, who later
became Frank Rijkaard’s assistant, is currently preparing a Cup tie against Girona at the
Barça training grounds with the team he has managed since last season, Celta.
Barça TV took the opportunity to find out his views on Barça 2009/10.
Impressed by Barça
Eusebio is impressed by Josep Guardiola’s team: “Spectacular. It’s
wonderful to see this team play. To see how they dominate matches, how they manipulate them, how
they play and how they are capable of winning them”.
A team in development
“The team is on the same wavelength as last season and is continuously developing and
looking to work better. It’s getting harder and harder for the other teams to stop
them”.
“A real block”
Eusebio does not single out any particular player for praise but
instead emphasises the value of the team: “They’re really focussed when they defend.
They defend like a real block. They apply intense pressure that stops the other teams from reaching
the Barça goal. Their attacking play is also very good because they have a lot of ways of undoing
opposing defences”.
