Barcelona veteran says La Liga means more than Champions League: Forces you to perform at the highest level consistentlyThe Barcelona squad under Hansi Flick for his third season in charge of the club has a very young look, with Robert Lewandowski leaving and Marc-Andre ter Stegen on the verge of securing an exit.That leaves back-up goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny as the oldest member of the squad, and his role right now is to provide leadership in the dressing room and be ready in case Joan Garcia is not available.The Polish shot-stopper is always very interesting when he speaks, and he believes Barcelona should dream of winning every trophy this season.However, Szczesny also reiterated that La Liga remains the clubs most important objective.Speaking during Barcelonas pre-season training camp in England, the veteran explained why domestic consistency makes the league title an even greater challenge than the Champions League.Szczesny puts La Liga firstSzczesny made it clear that Barcelonas ambitions extend across every competition.When you represent this club, you start every season dreaming of winning every trophy youre competing for, he said, as quoted by SPORT.Szczesny insists La Liga is more important for him.

There are many teams that can win the Champions League, and were one of them.His comments underline the importance Barcelona place on maintaining their domestic dominance under Hansi Flick rather than becoming consumed by European expectations.It also contradicts what most of his younger teammates believe, which could be a reflection of the number of years he has spent in this sport.While the likes of Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Alejandro Balde and Marc Bernal mentioned that the Champions League was the dream, Szczesny understands that keeping hold of their La Liga title should be the priority.Team comes before individual goalsSzczesny also dismissed the idea of setting personal objectives.I dont have personal goals, he said. Im part of a team, and I do whatever is best for the team.An important player in the locker room.

I try to help the young players both on and off the pitch.Asked about Flick viewing him as an important figure in the squad, Szczesny responded with a smile.Does he really think that? Youll have to ask him. I just try to do my job as well as I can and help my teammates, he said.Praise for Ter StegenSzczesny also spoke warmly about Ter Stegen as the German goalkeeper continues his comeback from an injury horror.He looks very good, Szczesny said. Its been a difficult couple of years because of the injuries, but hes at a very high level.Szczesny also joked that Lewandowskis departure has helped him improve his Spanish.Now I have more time to speak Spanish because I dont have to speak Polish with him anymore. That could be an advantage, he finished.Szczesny will continue to play an important dressing-room role this upcoming campaign. At this stage of his career, it is very clear that he is there to provide guidance and back-up to Garcia.
