Celta Vigo striker Nolito: Barcelona coach Enrique my sporting father

Celta Vigo striker Nolito has spoken of his admiration for Barcelona coach Luis Enrique.

Nolito is being linked with a return to Barca, having played for Enrique at Barca B.

"Luis Enrique has taught me a lot during the four years I was with him. The good and the bad parts of football. He was always truthful with me. He's one of my sporting fathers," Nolito told Sportium.

"At Barcelona B he made me think that I could earn a living in this profession. He insisted I needed to lose weight and took care of me so I could give all my talent.

"His advice was very important to take a step forward in my career. I wish him the best."
