Marc Guillén / Edgar Fornós
Deco believes that the secret to Barça’s success is down to their dedication to the team as a unit: “Despite all their incredible achievements and the fact they are the best they always play with the humility to know that it is all thanks to the team
Speaking to Barça TV and www.fcbarcelona.cat the former Blaugrana star outlined why
he feels that Pep Guardiola’s team has been so successful. “Barça play great
football,” he continued. “They have superb players but above all they have Lionel
Messi. No other side has a player like him. He does unbelievable things always thinking of his
team-mates. He is a true star.”
New mentality
“Guardiola has brought a new mentality,” the Chelsea midfielder said.
“He is a coach that uses the young players a lot and knows how to bring out the best in his
players. Things have gone very well for him and I think he will continue to do that and will
continue to make history with Barça.”
Crowd support
Looking ahead to the visit of Arsenal on Tuesday evening Deco believes the home fans
will have a role to play. “On Champions League nights the supporters in Camp Nou can lift the
team and always help throughout by creating pressure for the other team. Barça certainly have that
as another thing on their side.”
