Luis Enrique's promise to new signing Andre Gomes

FC Barcelona manager Luis Enrique Martinez was decisive in Andre Gomes' decision to opt to join the Blaugrana.

The Asturian coach told the Portuguese midfielder that he would get quality game time as a Barça player.

In several conversations shared between the two, Luis Enrique sought to reassure Andre Gomes about his role in the team.

The recent case of Arda Turan shows the difficulty attached to becoming an important member of the Catalan club's midfield.

Gomes will hope to take advantage of the playing time afforded to him in order to gain greater influence in the Portuguese national team.

The Barça coach also told the player that he believes in his versatility to occupy any of the three midfield positions.
