Tonight’s game was a very hard one for FC Barcelona. It’s actually the last game in this year, the holidays are coming… And I guess it was kind of hard for Guardiola to motivate the squad. However, he succeeded and Barcelona won!
What makes this victory so special is that the first goal was scored by Seydou Keita! Congrats Seydou!
TrackbackSpanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo had the honour to interview the Barcelona’s midfielder Seydou Keita. Here’s what he said.
Q: What do you think about the rotations Guadilo is putting you through? You are not a regular starter.
A: I arrived here last summer and it’s neccessary for me to adapt to everything here. I think that no Barca player can consider himself as a regular, because there is rotation all the time.
Q: You played as a leftback defender against Getafe, although your natural position is in the midfield?
A: I was surprised too about that. The coach just said that I need to play there because I am the only player left-footed and I did. It worked out well.
Q: Do you like when people call you Keite or Keita?
A: Keita is my last name. But in Catalan, it’s Keite. Puyol calls me Keite, for example. I don’t care.
Q: Which Barcelona player in the past do you like?
A: Romario and Stoickov. They were great.
Q: What do you think about Guardiola’s 4-3-3 tactics?
A: It’s a very attack-minded approach where you have to be very concentrated, cover your playmates, run, defend, attack… It works well and I like it.
TrackbackFootball news site Goal has published a list of the biggest transfers over the last summer. FC Barcelona has five spots on the list, and among those is Seydou Keita. He is the 18th on the list.
He arrived as the first signing from Sevilla. Barcelona paid €15 million for him, and he’s defintely worth the money.
