After helping his team secure a dominant 5-0 away victory over Valencia in La Liga, Barcelona centre-back Gerard Martín was interviewed by Movistar+.

Desire to win

Everyone is competing actively. This match reflected our mentality of always wanting more wins, and we scored many goals.

17 goals in 4 matchdays

We are in very good form. In matches like today, keeping a clean sheet is also very important, which shows our high level of focus.

Defensive flexibility

Both in defence and attack, we have many versatile players, and I think this can produce some unexpected results. We will continue to adapt as the match progresses.

Playing as centre-back

There is some pressure because you always face extreme situations. We have to adjust our positioning, for example today there were several moments when we weren't in the right places, but that's how we play.

About Joan García

He is like glue for us. He is always alert for long balls and ready to come out and challenge whenever needed.

Impact of the heat

We are in good condition, but for temperatures this high, you simply can't prepare. There are moments in the game when you are very tired, but when the ball is at our feet, we try to control the tempo and not exert ourselves too much.

About new signings Rodri and Gabriel Jesus

Both are world-class players. Rodri showed his quality from the start, and Gabriel got some playing time. I am confident that from now on, they will help us greatly.
