Luis Enrique on Luis Suarez's form, Mascherano as captain, and more

Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference ahead of the Joan Gamper Trophy clash against Roma on Wednesday. Here are some of his key quotes: 

Javier Mascherano as fourth captain

I'm pleased for Mascherano. There are more players that have specific weight in the dressing room and don't need to be captains to have a voice.

On Messi and Neymar 

We always try and create plenty of chances. What does make the difference is effectiveness and the arrival of these players will certainly help matters. They don't arrive at zero, they have been working. They come with a base. I am very happy with the professionalism of all the players.

On Luis Suarez's strong start

There's no player who is at 100 per cent. It would be an error for the player, the team and the coach. WIth Luis he has the motivation to start the season from now. He's confirmed he's a top player that helps the team and works wonderfully with Leo and Ney.

On the transfer market

There will be no new signings and players will only leave if they wish to go. As of today, there's nothing new about that.
