Luis Enrique confirms Luis Suarez will make his Barça debut in Clasico

Luis Enrique met with the press on Friday afernoon to preview Barcelona's trip to Real Madrid on Saturday.

He avoided becoming embroiled in any sort of confrontation with Carlo Ancelotti and confirmed that Luis Suarez would play, although didn't reveal whether that meant he would start.

Here is what Barça's boss had to say:

How've you prepared fpr the Clasico? "We are going to maintain the same ideas, in a football sense. We've remembered our strengths and the possible weaknesses of our rival and we will go out with the same mentality as we have done all season."

Will Luis Suarez play? "He will play some minutes, sure, but how many... that is the million dollar question."

Real Madrid's qualitites: "One of their best qualities is their transitions and their punch in attack, which is worthy of the best teams in the world."

If Madrid play 442 or 433, will it affect you? "No, independent of Ancelotti's side, our way of playing will be the same. The ideas will be the same."

Sergio Busquets: "He's fine. He's trained with everyone and in theory he is available."

Madrid's complaints over the scheduling of game: "They have good reason. It would be good to unify the calendar for everyone and I'm also in agreement that I would prefer to play later. But everything is for television. Sometimes it will benefit you, other times it will benefit others."

Did you learn anything managing against Madrid with Celta? "When you go with a smaller team, if you don't take advantage of your chances and you make errors, you lose. I expect a different game this time."

Ancelotti's "dig" about not asking Ronaldo to come off (re: Messi substitution last weekend): I'm not annoyed, I get on well with Ancelotti. I have great respect for him as a former player, a manager and a person. We all have the right to joke and I don't make interpretations."

Would you coach Madrid? Ancelotti said he wouldn't coach Barça: "I have it very easy... I already know everything I need to know."

Playing psychologist for the team: "It is important in this type of game, where the emotions are so high. You can even see in training that there is a special motivation and it's evident that we need to speak with the players."
