On the moment: It's surmountable. This past month - month and a half we haven't been playing the football we're used to. We have to recover our form. It's really costing us. We're still in the three competitions, although in the Champions it's looking very very difficult. Above winning or not winning, the important thing is playing like we know how to. Both the manager and the team are concentrated on that.
On the serious faces after the Leganés match: We were happy about the victory, but come on, we're not dumb. We're not feeling comfortable. We like having the ball more and suffering less counters. We need to try to improve. The manager is for sure in his office right now figuring this out. I have hope. It's hard for me to think that, with the team we have, we're already finished.
On the whistles: Barça is the club of my life and I know how it is. I understand the the unhappiness but I don't agree with the way in which it is manifested. I don't understand the whistles, how memory could be so short. We have 8 out of 10 titles with this manager. Let's try to be more than a club when the situation gets bad. When we celebrate, we celebrate together. When we suffer, it's the same.
On playstyle evolution: We're always the ones interested in having the ball the most possible. When possession keeps changing hands, we suffer more. If we look back, the fowards used to connect more. Now with the three best players up front we play less in the centre of the pitch. We need to evolve. If we play like we did six years ago, we'd be found out.
On the topic of referees: I never felt alone.
On the merit of the manager: When Luis Enrique arrived we were in deep shit. I'd like for all of us to remember the job he did here with us and also what he did during his time as a player. We're with him until the death.
On the factors for the bad form: It's not only a tactical thing, but it also has to do with confidence and other factors that have brought us to this moment, which is not the best. I'm giving you my word: we're doing everything possible
Message to the people: The message is that we're alive. In the league I feel like we have options in order to be competitive until the end. In Champions, I ask people to go to the stadium. If we do qualify, they'll be pretty pissed off at home. And in the cup we're in the final against Alavés, whom I have a lot of respect for but we expect to beat them.
On becoming recognizable again: In defense we're not strong, we're weak. A comeback? What I care about the most is to be recognizable again. In Champions, we still have some scores to settle and some to win as well.
Change of mentality: We have to get rid of the attitude of all talk and no action. This team will keep delivering many things.
