I don't like to talk about players from other teams, just like I wouldn't like it if the opposition coach talked about my team. It's a question of respect.

You cannot talk to a player who has a contract. It's not in my code.

Umtiti is a great player, and we expect him to stay at Barca for many more years and for him to enjoy his football with us.

Dembele likes to take players on. He's a dribbler and a power player who likes to break into space; he has the ability to do this. He has a lot of virtues.

I would like to have an assortment of words, but what can I say about Leo? He is breaking all the records, and those he will still beat. He makes the public always expect something special from him, and he delivers it.

Sometimes there's too much noise about what's happening, but this is Barcelona - it is a big club. Sometimes people make more of things than they have to. We need to try to close the team away from all that noise outside.

I know the names of possible signings get fans excited, but it's a very fleeting kind of excitement.

Everyone has their own opinion. They can state it publicly, or not if they don't like to, but for me, the best players are here at Barcelona, starting with Lionel Messi and followed by everyone else.
