He said, “It’s very nice to have Lamine. We already knew that he has a lot of quality and is showing incredible maturity. Also assuredness and serenity, both when he plays and when he speaks.
"He is a gift for everyone. For Barca, for Spanish football and for football in general.”
On Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, Deco added: “He’s not a Barca player, I’m coming to watch the game."
