The defender of the FC Barcelona Jules Kounde appeared at a press conference on the eve of Monaco – Barça. He confided his ambitions and those of the Club in the Champions League: “We were eliminated in the quarter-finals last year and we want to do better this season.”
Considering the form of his team, the Blaugrana confides: “We are confident and we have a good chance of giving our best version to win on Thursday.”
Monaco
Beaten in the Gamper Trophy, in a friendly match, by the Monegasques, the Catalans are wary of this Ligue 1 team: “It’s a group of young, talented and physical people.”
Regarding the arrival and progress of the team under Hansi Flick, Jules Kounde says: “He demands intensity from us at all times, and it shows in our duels.” When asked if he likes playing right-back, he admits: “I’ve wanted to improve since I was little. No matter what position I play, I give my best.”
The new format and objectives
“The format is more difficult with more games but we have to play to see if it is a good formula.” He also said that “no matter the format, Barça’s objective is to win it.”
