Barcelona captain Carles Puyol says coach Pep Guardiola has made a positive impact since his appointment.

"Well, Pep Guardiola is the complete coach. He has been player and knows the keys to the locker room. He is also a fan of football," said Puyol.

"He dominates the discussion with tactics and has his ideas, but we do not get tired with that. His instructions are short and very direct. It's easy to understand what he wants and it is easy to apply."
