Marc Ingla is all positive about issues in FC Barcelona.


FC Barcelona's vice-president, Marc Ingla spoke to the media on issues concerning Barca and the team coach Frank Rijkaard, as well as Ronaldinho's saga and recent developments surrounding the Brazilian. Ingla didn't hide his happiness over the return of French goal king Thierry Henry, while maintaining a positive outlook on things for the Catalan club. Ingla believes that Barca will win trophies, as this is the only true measure of a club's success. Ingla spoke firstly on coach Frank Rijkaard, saing that the entire board was happy with the Dutchman:

A debate on coaches is not necessary for now. We are happy with Frank because he has produced attractive football with a good balance, that he himself introduced. A certain anxiety does exist, as we are all looking forward to win trophies this season. Results are important, as they are what will be used to measure success.

On Ronaldinho's absence and injury, Ingla said:

Rijkaard is the one who should decide and I will never interfere in the technical side. Ronaldinho is a very important player in Barcelona and seeing him back in full fitness will be a thing of delight. We are midway through the season and are focussed on the campaign. The debate about him is always disproportionate and we saw before el Clásico that all the talk was about him and not the team. The press is putting too much pressure on Ronnie and this is a distraction for him.

Praising Thierry Henry and clearly happy to see the Frenchman return to full fitness with blazes shown against Mallorca over the weekend, Ingla beamed:

Thierry Henry is in great form and it was such a great joy to see him back in the team and play well against Mallorca. It is also commendable that he stopped playing when he had a problem for the sake of the team. It was great to see him back on Saturday with that spark and speed.
