The first party of LaLiga of the FC Barcelona left feelings very positive, in addition to a very favourable result -3-0 in front of the Sportive Alavés- to face with confidence the initial stretch of season. The Barcelona team made a good party and imposed to a solid opponent thanks to the magic of Leo Messi, that marked two goals, and to another so much of Philippe Coutinho.
In room of press, Ernesto Valverde explained the absence of the crack Brazilian in the eleven initial: "The two possibilities that handled were Sergi Roberto or Coutinho in the interior. It did not want to overload the team with players that incorporated late. Already it was Samu, Rakitic, Luis, Dembélé... It thought that we could accuse the effort".
"Messi accustoms us. It is a luck can live the football in the period in which he is playing"
Finally, it decanted by Sergi Roberto like right interior: "I Think that the year happened already begin LaLiga with this centre of the field. Has fortress and, at the end, that is his lateral place. If we had marked in the first part, could have followed with this plan or delay the changes. It did us fault a player with shot and thought in Coutinho, that went to participate in the party of a way or another".
The Txingurri also stood out the performance of Messi: "Leo accustoms us. Afterwards you want that each day take out a rabbit of the basket. It is a luck can live the football in the period in which Leo is playing", said, adding, on his captaincy, that "the assumption of leadership of Leo in the team has done always. When it goes out Iniesta of the team does not affect him so much in this appearance to Leo, Busquets or Hammered because they already had this leadership".
The technician extremeño stood out the performance of Ousmane Dembélé, in spite of that it could not mark: "While a forward have opportunities, think that this is good. The goal arrives in base to the opportunities that have. The problem is when you are leading and arrive to the changing room without having had incidence in the game. Dembélé Has not been hit in the ending, but that was here, have occasions and was near of the goal, comes us well".

Valverde Also explained the suplencia of Arhur, Lenglet, Malcom and Arturo Vidal: "I Am happy with the performance of all. it is seeing How they participate in the game. Now, in competition, it is necessary to do list and there is limit of changes and is not the same. Knowing this and seeing what have given us in pre-season and as they train, are players that go to play a lot of parties this year. I am happy with them and they have to be happy also".
