Bellerin: Valverde will be a good manager for Barcelona

Hector Bellerin, Barcelona's No.1 target for the summer, has spoken exclusively to SPORT from the Spain camp at Las Rozas. 

The right-back spoke about his personal aspirations, how he sees his future and his feelings on Barça's appointment of Ernesto Valverde. 

You can read the interview first in Tuesday's paper and it will appear online later, with a second part to come on Wednesday revealing the player's more personal side. 

During the interview, Bellerin described himself as "a person who likes to take on new challenges. That's why I went to England. I always look for the best of myself and I consider myself a person who's not afraid of challenges." 

On a possible return to Barça, he said that "I don't know if it would be a way to make up for things, but there's a lot of summer left to go. Now I'm focused on Spain U21s and the nice opportunity we've got at the European Championships." 

Bellerin was sincere and also spoke about Valverdes, who he said is a manager to his tased. "It's difficult to see all the La Liga games in England because the channels usually show Madrid or Barça, but I've seen Athletic and Valverde is a coach that likes good football. He's always done well at the teams he's been at and he will be a good manager for Barça." 

On his relationship with the Barça players, he said that "we've got on well since we were together at the Euros in the summer. There's a great atmosphere with the national team."
