Larsson: “It is true that at the beginning we played weak games”

Henrik Larsson is part of Ronald Koeman's technical staff. Your responsibility is to supervise the work of the strikers, so he shares feelings with Leo Messi on a daily basis. The former Swedish attacker makes a review of his feelings and vicissitudes in his second stage at the club in an interview on the official website of FC Barcelona.

Leo Messi: “When I was a player he was very young. I remember the first day he came to training and Gio (Van Bronckhorst) and I wondered who that boy was. Well, that boy has become the best footballer in the world. Everything he does is of a spectacular level. Nobody can get to do something like that. The amount of goals he has scored is incredible, unimaginable. I don't have enough words to describe it. “

Team: “Now we are well, playing good games. At first it was a bit difficult, something normal because you had to adapt to the methods of a new coach. Players need time to adjust. We noticed that the players like our way of doing and our philosophy, although it is true that we had weak games at the beginning. And here at Barcelona everyone demands you win ”.

Doublet: “We are going to go game by game. We cannot look beyond the next challenge, which is the game against Valladolid. The cup final? We have played this competition very well and we have deserved to reach the final ”.

Role in the staff: “I usually talk a lot with the forwards. I think it is important to have been a forward to talk to them. I am really enjoying my work. I also support Albert (Roca) in physical preparation ”.

Hobby: “It is gratifying to see the esteem that people have for me, even though I was only here for two years. I think it's because people realized that they always gave 100%. The fans love the way I played for the team. I suppose it also has to do with the two assists I gave in the final in Paris ”.
