Capello: Enrique transformed himself at Barcelona

Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello is full of praise for Barcelona boss Luis Enrique.

Capello says Enrique has transformed himself from his time at Roma.

“At Roma they used to say that you could grab a coffee, return to the stands and the side would still have possession, but they would be nowhere near the penalty area," the Italian, now an analyst on Fox, said.

“Evidently [Luis Enrique] understood something should change."

“He had a great experience with Celta Vigo, whom he made play good football and close the gap on the teams at the top of La Liga.

“But, above all, he has changed the style of play at Barcelona, where he's found a great centre forward in [Luis] Suarez, who can do things the players before him who had the same role couldn't do.

“And Messi and Neymar get on perceptively with Suarez. It's a team that can be direct - and they are very, very fast."
