New Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde admits his playing time at Nou Camp wasn’t the best.

Valverde recognised that as a player he was not successful at the club.

“I was not a great signing for Barcelona,” he said. “I recognise that. I arrived with a knee injury, I had to have an operation, then I had another operation and the year after I went to Athletic Club. I didn’t triumph here as a player. That’s a reality.

“Now I’m older, time has passed, I have a different perspective. There’s a demand at a club like Barcelona, a club like this. What I don’t know I will learn and I hope my era as a coach is better than that as a a player.”

Valverde also spoke about his style of working.

“There are things that the coach wants to be reflected in the team. What I want is that the spirit of the team catches the fans and the fans identify with it. I want an intense team, who can carry the weight of the play. However there’s a lot of things this team already has.
