The Barça midfielder has commented that he is excited about the new signings Barça have made. “The competition is strong each year” he said. “But the team will be the winner”.
Andrés Iniesta is delighted that FC Barcelona have signed Thierry Henry, Touré Yaya and Éric Abidal. Promoting the Fuentealbilla brand to which his name is associated, he said “I hope the people coming here will help us to do things well and achieve our objectives”.
A lesion well learned
Iniesta expected big changes at the end of a
disappointing season. “When things don’t go well, you need to correct the mistakes and
start again from scratch” he said. “We know that we need be at 200% to win.”
Positive competition
The new arrivals will mean there will be more competition for places, but “it will be the team that wins.” He was also quizzed about the club’s interest in Gabriel Milito, and claimed “he would be a great new signing. He has performed at a very high level in recent years.”
