Press conference transcript:

Luis Enrique: "We give him enough space to express his personality. "

Luis Enrique sat and answered a question Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's adaptation to the group and to his system.

" Well as we did last year with Beraldo, we gave him the necessary information. Not all of it, but he will receive most of it throughout trainning and games. And when you sign players of this level, they are already intelligent so they can adapt to different playing styles. And when they wathc their teammates offensively and defensively, they see how to adapt to it. Additionally like all coaches, we give him enough space to express his personality. It is not the same to have a winger that scores a lot and one that cut into spaces. We try to respect his qualities and enhance them."

Luis Enrique : " Similarities between Lille and Liverpool "

The Spaniard was then asked about the preparation for their Champions League game against Liverpool ahead of their game against LIlle.

" I think there’s similarities between Lille and Liverpool. Things that we'll see tomorrow in this game against Lille, things that Lille does defensively that could be similar to what we could see against Liverpool. So it is a great game to prepare for us, against a rival that play in the Champions League, that qualified and played well in the competition. We know them well, it is always a team that create problems for us. So it is very demanding but it is a great motivation for us to show that we can play every game, every team, every scenario, and tomorrow we play at home it is always great because it is like we play with twelve players."

Luis Enrique : " No advantage or disadvantage "

He then talked about the schedule that will see his team face Lille while Liverpool will rest this weekend.

" There is no advantages or disadvantages. We could go into it, they had a difficult schedule until now with a lot of intensity. These are things that we cannot control as a coach. I would love to have the schedule to adapt to our priorities but it is impossible to have a schedule that adapts to every teams and when we want to fight for every competition it is impossible. So I cannot control this kind of things, I try to be as prepared as possible for these games."
