Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu has listed his goals for the club under new manager, Quique Setien.
According to him, he hopes sacking Ernesto Valverde will make the team win a treble at the end of this season.
He made it clear that he needs instant results and improvements, and possibly the LaLiga, the Champions League and the cup at the end of the season.
He added that their new manager supports Johan Cruyff’s style of play.
His words, “The dynamic of the team could be improved. We are in the next round of the Champions League and the Copa is getting started but we felt the dynamic could be improved.
“We spoke about this many times with Valverde, very openly with him and we have always been very close to Ernesto Valverde with a good relationship and have always spoken about what could be improved.
“With this momentum and with this new dynamic we aspire to win LaLiga, the Champions League and the cup.”
On the appointment, “We spoke to other coaches but we did not publish this information.”
“We all know Setien is a huge fan of Johan Cruyff’s style and we share the same objectives.”
Abidal also said, “To have him here is a great joy for us. He’s a coach who has shown through the teams that he has had that he has great skills.
“What I like most is the communication he has with his players, his way of working, his way of coaching.
“He is always focused on details. To compete at the highest level, the details are very important, whether it’s in the league, the cup or the Champions League.”
