New Barcelona team chief Guillermo Amor insists management believe in Paco Alcacer.

The striker managed just a handful minutes for victory over Malaga on Saturday.

Amor argued: "For Alcacer, it's good to have minutes. It's hard to play in Barcelona, the best team in the world, with the best players like Messi and Suarez...

"Having minutes is not easy. This Saturday, he was on the list and the important thing is to be prepared because when the opportunity arrives, he can help."

Alcacer has been linked with a move away from Barcelona in January.
