Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has paid tribute to Sir Bobby Robson on the fifth anniversary of the former England manager's death.
Enrique played for Robson at Barca.
He told thefa.com: "As a manager, he had very clear ideas, with an attacking concept of play and an easy and clear philosophy. His natural way of doing things, being very spontaneous, being capable of managing a group, being able to adapt himself to the high expectations of a big team with different circumstances.
"I remember that at half-time he used to grab some plastic glasses to show us the tactics and movements he wanted to see. He was a very talented and easy going person."
It was Enrique's first season as a player at the club too and for that he reason he has special memories of Robson.
"It was a year where we won three trophies, one Cup Winners' Cup, one Kings Cup, one Spanish Super Cup," he added.
"It was a difficult season because it was the year after [Johan] Cruyff had left, and Barcelona decided to sign the services of Robson and his great experience. I think he reached the full expectations.
"I used to appreciate his words of praise, because it was my first year at Barcelona, a very important year for me, and I have to say, I always had a good relationship with him and he always had good things to say about me and that's always nice."
