Thiago Alcantara's latest interview with FC Barcelona official website
“It’s a very, very good start. It couldn't be better, between the Liga and Champions League we’ve won our last six games, and in each one of them we were the superior side.
"It’s strange that people still have their doubts about the team. We have to continue in this dynamic.”
“We’re getting into the rhythm of competitive play, the Liga has just started and all the teams are in the same spot we’re in.
"We’re on the same level, we simply want to improve so that we can be in a good position by the end of the season.”
“I feel great, my recovery was excellent. Little by little I’m getting back to the shape I was in before my injury."
"I’m doing something I like to do, I get to defend and attack at the same time.”
“There are a lot of excellent players in the midfield and the boss can call on them in any situation. It’s good competition and it’s good to be with such quality players on a daily basis."
On Messi and Villa row
“It’s normal. There’s no way that was an argument, it was a heated moment. We’re ambitious and that’s what makes us react the way we do.”
“This shows the ambition that a player or a team has.”
