The Portuguese right-back is settling in to his new life at Camp Nou

After a slow start, his last few performances have been really impressive

Nelson Semedo doesn't feel he has to prove himself as a Barcelona player: the doubts which surrounded his signing have disappeared thanks to his good performances in recent matches. 

"I don't think I have to demonstrate anything," the right-back said. "I just try to do my job as best as possible, to improve every day, to be the best I can and to return the condifence the club has shown in me." 

Semedo is still surprised on a daily basis by his team-mates qualities: "It's what's caught my attention the most, their way of touching the ball, their quality as footballers. 

"In training, I suffer as much as a I enjoy it, because of the quality of my team-mates. The ball circulates at a ridiculous speed. But the difficult thing is making it to Barça, after that you have to try and enjoy it."
