Barella admits the French striker surprised him with the way he handled himself last season.
He told DAZN: “When players are strong, they always come out. Coming in so easily was incredible because it takes a bit of adjustment. Our way of playing is not easy. Each of us has to interpret our role in a certain way to play well to be.” complementary and he was the addition that took us a step further: he extends the team, he can get into the game well and he is a spectacular guy, that is the most important thing.”
When asked if Thuram will remain Robin and Lautaro Martinez, Batman, Barella also said: “I don't know who Robin or Batman is, but they are certainly a good pair. When you play with such players it is also easier for Taremi, Correa and Arnautovic to come in and give us a helping hand because you can't have a championship with two and it's also important to mention the others who when called upon always contributed and were ready.”
Asked about the weekend's clash with Lazio, Barella also admitted: “When I look at Lazio now… It's no surprise, it's always been a difficult team to beat, it's always been a difficult pitch, I have always respected them as a team and a club. They deserve compliments for the spark they have found, but we have to look logically at our path and try to continue it by beating all teams, be it Lazio, Milan, Juve is…
“After you win a championship, it is never easy to discover that mentality, but it will come. The most important thing is to recognize our qualities, to find that compactness that we lost a little bit in the beginning, which has always been our has been a strong point. I think in the last few games we see what we have kept in the Champions League… Now we are taking it back to the Championship.”
