Statement of intentions of Abidal after his nomination like technical secretary of the Barça

Of Eric Abidal all remember a character intachable and his dilated experience like player, but when it announced that it went to be new technical secretary of the FC Barcelona, some left carry by the doubts. In his presentation, the French has left the clear things, without hinting on his work but being very sincere on his intentions.

"It is a pleasure for me go back to the Barcelona, my second house. I want to appreciate to the club that have bet by me for a so important charge. I am safe that all together will do a big work", has begun, with a look that denoted his illusion by this new challenge. Giving some details more on his charge, the Frenchman has explained which paper will exert.

"I think that in addition to the experience that have in the world of the football, know very well the changing room and the attitude of the players, but especially will give the values that always have had. I will try to share them with the players and speak with the trainer, that wants a competitive team", has signalled, affirming that it will not remain to a side in the signings.

"Now I am not here to say 'this signing yes, this no', east is a work of team"

In addition to confirming that it already has spoken with Ernesto Valverde, the one of Saint-Genis-Laval has recognised that it is putting to the day in the subjects of high and low, although it has showed elusive: "What can say is that this is a work of team and that, therefore, the club has taken decisions. It has bet by a person with a global vision and I, that have an intern. Are how it works the club and can contribute my granite of sand"

"As it said, the internal work already was doing. I finish to arrive and am me enterando of these players. I am not to say 'this himself or this no'. It is a work of team", has insisted, before asking patience with the course of the quarry and make a brief review to his path, that ensures that it will serve him in the challenge that has by in front.

"I was in a máster with the UEFA, came to the Barça in 2016 to know what did in each charge. I was in the PSG, in the City, in small Italian teams. The work is the same, what changes is the number of people. In Italy there are not a lot of people and, for example, in the Barça or the City there is a lot of more. The important is the communication to be able to take decisions all together to be able to mount a big team", has resolved on his experience.

Abidal Signals that his aim are the titles

Between the proper names of the press conference was, as no, the one of Antoine Griezmann, but Abidal has not wanted to extend too much: "I Think that the decision is his, do not want to go in in a debate, there are two options, yes or no, but the important is the predisposition of the club, and here are not to speak on the decision of a player, only to arm a good team".

More attentive has been to the situation of Ousmane Dembélé, of the that expects a lot in some months and to the that thinks that can help: "it Is a player with a lot of talent and has a big potential, but no only he. We want them to all to the one hundred byone hundred . Now it has to be centred in doing a big World-wide, afterwards rest with his holidays to come to work to tope".

"To me it will touch me also the management of the changing room beside the trainer and I will speak with the players. I know to smell the situation of each one and rectify and give support to which need it", has left to fall, clearing in passing that he is not neither of Joan Laporta neither of Josep Maria Bartomeu, but a man of the Barça.

"For me it is a pride form part of the club again. The aim is to win titles. Have experience and, therefore, can do that have an interesting communication and can take good decisions for the club", has resumido at the end, with a start that leaves very good feelings on his motivation.
