Andres Iniesta in 10 phrases: Playmaker speaks about El Clasico tensions
How will the game against Real Madrid be?
It's hard to predict what you'll find in these games against this opponent, and where the games will go, because there is a lot of quality in both sides. Our intention is to take advantage of our best weapons and be effective in the decisive moments.
How's Luis Suarez?
He's been well since he arrived. He's living in an uncomfortable situation because not playing or competing is the worst thing for a player. But time passes and happiness for him and everyone else is very important and hopefully he can feel and play like he always has done.
His form and Enrique's system
The main thing is everything is going well. We're going from less to more and if we arrive at peak form we will try and keep it. We must continue to grow but each game has its own peculiarities that you must take advantage of.
Better with Enrique than last season under Tata?
I am delighted with what I am discovering and the feelings with this coach, the coaching staff and their peers. The important thing is that we each find our best form and keep it for as long as we can.
Has Luis Enrique motivated you more than other coaches because he doesn't like Madrid?
No, in these games there is very little extra motivation because you motivate yourself. After that, he motivates us like everyone, to have a good night, after studying the details that can decide the game.
Complaints from Madrid because Barcelona have an extra days rest
The schedule is what it is and sometimes we arrive at a game with less time (to prepare).
Is Casillas right to say Cristiano arrives in better form than Messi?
No, everyone has their point of view and trusts his partner as I trust mine. I trust not only in Leo, because in the end the chance to win is not about what one does, but the performance of everyone.
The controversy over the Messi substitution that didn't happen
The coach is the one who decides what is best for the team. I see it as insignificant.
The improvement of Neymar this season
The first year is always the hardest, but now I think Neymar has found a better, calmer environment and, hence, his performance is excellent and what we expect from a unique player like him. Hopefully he can keep it up for a long time.
Best memory in a Clasico
The 2-6 win is a unique memory that practically gave us the league in a very important year for us. We had good vibes in the other games and a very special feeling.
