‘It’s not up to Pedri whether I play with four midfielders or not, the idea is clear to me. The identity has to be us, the Barcelona DNA, keep the ball away from Real Madrid. The idea doesn’t change even if we play with 4 or 3 midfielders.’
‘It’s the DNA that Johan Cruyff planted 30 years ago. Last year we were very proud of Barcelona in the final. And this is the path we are looking for. We will be true to the Cruyff philosophy.’
