Luis Enrique wants Barcelona to find the right balance between attack and defence if they are to regain the title.
Barca beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Saturday afternoon to record a third straight La Liga win and a third straight clean sheet.
The Coach said after the match that balance is crucial, particularly after he was asked about how readily Barca tried to go over the top of Athletic’s defence.
“To be a team that wins titles you must have a good attack and a defensive phase, to be a complete team,” Enrique said, according to Marca.
“Sometimes you can play too long and others you can have possession. Getting the right balance isn’t always easy.
“A team is formed to unite different personalities and profiles of players. I’m happy with what I have.
“I won’t explain why whoever plays to the players and I won’t do it here. We always hope to have the best version of each player.
“Any individual thing is easy to achieve but overall, the coordination of everything, means many hours of training. We do what we can, with and without the ball.”
Enrique was asked about Lionel Messi, who created both goals for Neymar, and as well as praising the Argentine he picked another player for commendation.
“Messi isn’t only the best for his goals but for his assists. If he wanted to be the best defender he would be,” Enrique added.
“Sergio Busquets’ tactical intelligence, how he interprets the pressure…he’s a key player for us and the best in the world in his position.”
