Kounde speaks following his Barcelona debut: “I have come here to win titles”

Jules Kounde made his long-awaited Barcelona debut tonight, playing as the right-back in the back-four. Ronald Araujo went back to his natural centre-back role, adding a lot more balance to the team.

After going back to his natural position in the heart of the defence at the hour-mark, Kounde’s ball progression was key for the team. He also made an incredible goal-line clearance to maintain the much-deserved clean sheet.

He spoke to the media following the game, brought to you by Barça Universal.

On his return/debut: “I have not played a lot, but I feel very good. I still need a while to get back to my best level.”

On coming to Barcelona: “I have come to Barça to win titles and to continue growing.”

On Robert Lewandowski: “Well know what Lewandowski can do. He’s a striker of the highest calibre.”

On playing as a right-back: “My main position is centre-back, but if the coach wants me to play on the right, then I will do my best to help the team.”
