Luis Enrique: There was nothing strange about the selection

Barça coach added that he's not bothered about possession in "these type of games"

Luis Enrique was happy with his side's performance as Barcelona beat Leganes 5-1 on Saturday. 

It was the perfect tonic to last weekend's loss to Alaves, with the goals coming via Lionel Messi (2), Luis Suarez, Neymar and Rafinha. 

Barça began the game with a back three, something which Luis Enrique didn't want to rest too much importance on. 

Here's what the Blaugrana coach had to say after the win...

On Leganes: "They were brave, daring. They came out to match us man for man and they created problems for us, but that left us with more space, too. We had to adapt to the game. I think that we were brilliant from the off. If we'd come out asleep, we would have suffered. 

On possession: "In these games the possession doesn't interest me much. What interests me is the spaces and creating situations where we can get one on ones."

On the back three: "It was a little different because we had the line of three [in defence]. In other games we have the same situation, though, with the deep midfielder dropping in. There was nothing strange about the selection. We started that way because we wanted to have the ball and take advantage of the spaces they left us. This idea had its risks but I like that the players are capable of taking it on.

  On rotations:

 "To be successful this season we need all the players and I hope that they all [continue] at this level. We've got another game in four days [against Atletico]. All managers make changes, it's normal for everyone."

On resting Busquets: "I contemplated what to do. Busquets is amazing but he didn't rest during the international break. I'll try to manage [his] minutes because we want him to be in the best possible condition at the end of the season, although I prefer to have him on the pitch."
