Xavi (FC Barcelona coach, 4-0 winner of Valladolid Sunday for the 3rd day of La Liga, in a post-match press conference):
“The match was not perfect. The first 40 minutes were very good, and we started the best period well. We are on the right track, but there are always things to improve. You must not relax.
(On Lewandowski)
Having Lewandowski in your team is a blessing.
His perfect timing to receive the balls, his movements, how he protects the ball... He's an extraordinary player.
Spectacular.
A natural leader.
It's a blessing to have him with us, it's wonderful.
He is a model, a born worker.
He's humble, he works for the team, he helps the staff, he creates differences... I think he's happy, that's the most important thing.
(On Koundé) He felt good, he can play on the whole defensive line, on the left too.
He can mark his time.
He is good off the ball, he has character.
We have a great rookie here”.
