Barcelona played the first home match of the new season on Sunday as they faced and defeated Arsenal in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy at Camp Nou. Ernesto Valverde spoke after the match about a number of topics, from Frenkie De Jong to Junior Firpo and everything in between.
On Gamper match
It was a Gamper with fresh faces, a lot of changes, I wanted everyone to play. At the end we were able to win against a strong opponent that’s already playing a league match next week.
On Frenkie De Jong and Luis Suárez
I saw a very hungry Luis Suárez, and with De Jong you can clearly see how much he wants to have the ball and use it.
