Kessie: 'Barca was created to win'
"Barca was created to win. When they call you, do not hesitate. For me, this is the best team in the world," Kessie said on Barca TV on July 28.
Kessie is a pillar, 31 matches scoring six goals, contributing greatly to help AC Milan win the Serie A last season, thereby ending 11 years of emptiness. After winning Scudetto, Kessie joined Barca on a free transfer.
During the summer trip, Barca used Kessie in all four matches. In particular, they draw Olot 1-1, win Inter Miami 6-0, win Real Madrid 1-0 and draw Juventus 2-2.
According to Kessie, Barca still retains the ball control identity and technical processing phases. He is also impressed with the intimate atmosphere that feels like a family. "The players here are good and very good. Other players are coming and we will do their best to improve the team," Kessie promised.
Kessie is one of the year of rookie from the early summer of Barca. Besides Andreas Christensen also joined in the form of free transfer such as the Ivory Coast midfielder, Barca also spent $ 58 million to buy Raphinha, 45 million for Robert Lewandowski and five million for Pablo Torre.
Jules Kounte, a central defender of Sevilla, may also go back to Barca. The Camp Nou team has reached an individual agreement and is negotiating an agreement with Sevilla.
Barca also wants to recruit Chelsea defender duo, Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta. However, due to the missing Raphinha and Kounte, his team is causing difficulties on the negotiating table. The possibility that Barca has both of these players is not great, especially when they are about to sign with Kounte.
Barca's most recent title is the Cup of the King 2020-2021, when they still own Lionel Messi. The team has not regained La Liga from the 2018-2019 season. Last season, teachers and coach Xavi returned to the second La Liga and 13 points behind Real Madrid.
