Luis Enrique: "If we're not 100%, we're not that great"

Luis Enrique was critical of his side's performance against Fiorentina, ruing the fact that mistakes were made in areas that they have covered during pre-season.

"I can't say I'm satisfied with the match. There are defensive points we have to improve on - things that we've been working on, but it doesn't seem to have done the job. We'll have to hammer away at them", the Barça boss noted.

The Asturian was particularly disappointed with the lax defending at the beginning of the encounter. "We were up against powerful opposition and there's no way we should be letting them get shots away in the box, unmarked, twice in the first 10 minutes. There are things that can and should be put right. We're very good if we're 100%, but if we're not, we're not that great", he remarked.

The 'Azulgranas' manager equally felt that his side were not clinical enough: "I'm not concerned by the result, but by the things I've spoken about and about us not being effective enough. If we're effective, we can kill off matches considering the amount of chances we create".

Luis Enrique also revealed that Andrés Iniesta had gone off with a niggle, while playing down fears that it might be anything serious.
