"I am very happy. Last season was a step forward for me and the club put their long-term trust in me. This has never happened to me before. The team and the club are aiming high, there are many things to do and I hope we win many trophies. Barcelona is a lovely city for my family. My daughter Bruna will speak Catalan before me. We are very happy here. We have to be united as a group because we all want to achieve great things. The club is working hard for us to win titles and we have to function as a unit."
