New Barcelona coach determined to prevent Cesc Fabregas from joining Manchester United.

Speaking at his unveiling as Barcelona's new coach, Gerardo "Tata" Martino emphasized that "not winning a title would be a failure," while also stressing the importance of keeping the players hungry for victory.

The Argentinian strategist also denied reports that Messi, rather than the club's management, chose him as Barcelona's coach.

In addition, Martino also stated that he would do everything in his power to prevent Cesc Fabregas from moving to Manchester United.

Here are the main points of the Argentine strategist's statements:

The model is untouchable."It's necessary to respect the club's style and the players' style, as well as affirm the playing style that best suits each player. On the other hand, individual contributions are also needed to make the team more well-rounded."

Barça:"It's a place with so many privileges that I wouldn't have thought I'd come here a year ago."

First task"How can we keep the players hungry for trophies? If we can do that, the coming years will be good. We want to empower the players and convince them of the things that make the team stronger. The team has many great players and if we return to the ideas of the glorious years, there will be many good prospects."

Neymar and Messi:"I never thought that two great players like these couldn't support each other. If they can't do that, the fault lies with the coach."

coaching career"From the coaches I had, mostly at Newell's, I learned how to adapt to the players I had. Paraguay has nothing to do with Newell's, and Newell's playing style is more like Barcelona's."

Menotti said coaching in Europe is easier than in Argentina."He has more knowledge than I do, and the truth is, managing in Argentina is very difficult. Many of us believe that after working in Argentina, you can adapt to any football culture in the world."

Messi, the presenter"He said we both belonged to Rosario and Newell's, but we didn't know each other. It's true I thought the club's leadership might have consulted Messi, but it turned out not to be the case, as Messi said, and I have nothing to say against him. Messi is the best player in the world. What I just said wasn't populism because I've said that before."

Messi's playing position:"Messi has played in many different positions and recently has exploded with goals when playing as a center forward. I think Messi will play in his old position."

Relationship with the dressing room"I've always wanted to be close to the players, and this makes the team stronger."

Team roster"The current squad size is smaller than at Newell's, given that Barca are competing in many different competitions. All players have a chance to become important."

Puyol:"He's the only player I've had the chance to talk to so far."

Vilanova"I spoke to him on the phone and he welcomed me to Barca. I wish him a speedy recovery."

Roura and the current coaching staff"I've spoken to everyone I could except Roura because he's on tour. I'll need information from him to prepare well for the first Liga match."

Potential for improvement"Barcelona has achieved greatness, but there's always something to improve and something to win."

Youth team:"Barcelona places a strong emphasis on youth development, like Newell's, and we are delighted to have the support of players at the grassroots level."

Cesc Fabregas"The club has said no to Manchester United twice already, I'll say it a third time. I want Cesc to stay at Barca."

A two-horse race in La Liga"Of course, both need to win the title; this has been the case in Spain for a long time, and whoever loses feels like a failure."

Failure:"It would be a complete failure if we didn't win a title. Sometimes there are teams that win without leaving any mark, and they don't always have to, but Barca are used to winning and must continue to do so."

Alexis or Pedro"And there's Tello too. We'll bring in our best player to win."

Controversy with Madrid"We will talk about football, we will analyze the wins and losses, and we will avoid mentioning what doesn't happen on the pitch."

Defeating Madrid:"Winning or losing in El Clásico is certainly not the same thing because it's an extremely important match, but it's still not a title."

Regarding the possibility of buying Vergini"He's an excellent player who just had a successful season with Newell's, but I need to speak with the team before making a decision."

Simeone and Atlético:"I'm happy to see Cholo succeed like this. The Super Cup will be a tough match. There are other big teams in La Liga as well."

4-3-3 formation"We will try to play with the formation that the team feels most comfortable with. I've played like that in Paraguay, with other players, and also at Newell's."
