The sporting director spoke about the young midfielder who came on against Athletic
Barcelona enjoyed themselves against Athletic Club, first for the rout, but second for the debut of Pablo Torre in the top flight. The youngster had played in the Champions League but domestically he had been waiting for his chance.
At the end of the game, Jordi Cruyff dedicated some words to him, and some advice.
“He should enjoy this special moment and I would tell him to work even harder still,” said the sporting director. “We ended up with 10 men (Sergi Roberto was injured) and he had to do more of a suppression job.”
Jordi said it was important “to keep a clean sheet, we are very satisfied. We have shown intensity and desire against one of the strongest teams in La Liga. They press well and are very physical.”
