Luis Enrique's message for Aleix Vidal and the players that aren't playing
The Barcelona boss has still not decided which players will miss out against Atletico
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique didn't want to make any direct reference to players, but he did send a message to the players that aren't featuring regularly in the first team.
In his pre-game press conference for Wednesday's game against Atletico Madrid, he was asked about Aleix Vidal, who appears to have lost his manager's confidence -- he's been left out of the last two squads.
Luis Enrique, without giving names, responded: "This is going to be the music to the whole season if you focus on who is or is not playing.
"What do all the players have to do? Improve their performances individually and collectively. That's the my message for everyone, because we all make mistakes -- players and managers -- and have to improve.
"Regardless of if they've had a rest or not may players always seem happy. They enjoy training and competing and we will distribute minutes with regards to the games and the schedule.
"I'd like to have all my players playing all the time, although that's a utopia because it's not easy when you can't pick everyone, but that's my task."
