Robert: "Cuesta fichar to somebody that avenges to be acting"

In words conceded to the media during the official presentation of Samuel Umtiti, Robert Fernández spoke so much of the French player as of other questions related with the market of signings 2016-17, as for example the arrival of a leading chamber. "Samuel is a player that will contribute a lot of things in defence. One of the big virtues of the Barça is that the people that plays backwards is able to take out the balloon in good conditions. It is young, can play in several positions and in spite of being left-handed, has showed that it can play in the right", valued.

The Olympique of Lyon gave eases to his course. "We did a very important follow-up of Umtiti the past season. There were others central but his profile liked us a lot and at the end decide to go to by him. The negotiation was not easy because there were English teams interested in him". Próximamente The Barça fichará to a leading chamber, and that could be Luciano Vietto.

"Cost to find to a player that avenges to the Barça to be acting"

"Our intention would be fichar to the forward before it begin the pre-season, but the negotiations can lengthen. Vietto Is a very good player. Has very good conditions and is in a big club, the Athletic of Madrid. Cost to find a player that avenges to be acting", ensured Robert, standing out also that Mascherano is very happy playing in any position in the Barça.

"Mascherano Is happy playing of head office or doing it of mediocentro. It is a very competitive player and at the end is the trainer the one who will decide. The important is that of the five head offices that there is, three can play in distinct positions. It will be the trainer the one who decide what is the best", explained.

It left clear that wants that Douglas Pereira play, although it was not in the Barça. "My worry on Douglas is that it play each Sunday. What want to is that it play. It is not convenient for the club, neither for the player, follow a third year without playing. Douglas wants to play, do not have any doubt, Wants to play in the Barça and is not something easy because there is a lot of competition. It is necessary to look for a situation that was favourable for the player".

"Umtiti Has margin of improvement and will help us a lot the next season"

It did not give importance to the draw of the calendar of the League 2016-17. "The calendar gives the same. The competition is very long, happen a lot of things. All the teams do his work of the best way. This League is very difficult and the team that wins it always is the best", analysed, insisting in the illusion of Umtiti. "Umtiti Has a lot of illusion and a lot of win. It is a big challenge, goes to see with a lot of difficulties but he is conscious of the situation".

"Has a lot of margin of progression and a series of conditions that go us to help a lot of. Play of head office in the Barça is very difficult. The central have to be special... There is a lot of field that defend and have to begin to create the football of attack. The central in the Barça lives many times isolated and has to be a player of some special conditions", added.

And, finally, they asked him if Sergi Samper has options to win a place to play in the first team of face to the next season.  "All the players have to win the place in the team. What look for is that Samper triumph in the Barça. We believe a lot in him".
