"It would be a failure not to win any titles. Barcelona is used to winning and not doing so would have to be considered a failure because what Barcelona are offering is the best squad in the world”

 

[Indignado]

He's better at press conferences than Tito that's for sure

I can see Xavi bugging him already

Yeah, I can imagine how Xavi was entering his room at 3 am.

"Yo, hombre, u the new coach? Just to make it clear. 4-3-3, NO double pivot and me always in the starting lineup, comprende?"

"And NO pressing, I'm too old for this sh**"

He seems like a nice chap. Watched the press conference yesterday and so far he's ticked all the right boxes.

"It's an honour to meet you in person. You're a legend of the club".

Leo Messi reflects on meeting his hero: Newell's Old Boys "Legend" Gerardo "Tata" Martino.

 

[Barcaman]

My predominant impression of Tata is that he's genuine and down to earth guy. My only worry is that he'll need time to adapt and transmit his ideas to the team.

The one who decides is Messi.

^marca have their next exclusive

I am Marca's source.

I had a bad nightmare that Messi will be playing in almost every match and we have to rely on him again because Tata is playing favorites with him.. This won't happen right, Messi being Tata's favorite?

Messi would be anyone's favorite. Obviously he's going to play most games in a season, and he should. When he's benched it's only for rest for the most important games. Martino would be smart enough not to fatigue him though.
