Pep Guardiola was pleased with Barcelona's 4-2 win over Mallorca, but he believes the performance was not perfect.
Guardiola left many of Barca's stars on the bench, but the Blaugrana were good enough to complete a convincing win. Speaking to Marca after the match, he said, "We are playing well."
"Last season, no-one gave us a chance, so everything we did was a survive. This year there are no surprises.
"There is room for improvement."
Guardiola then explained his decision to leave Daniel Alves, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi on the bench, continuing, "I wanted fresh players, because the trip to Kazan was long and tiring."
"We are a full squad, not just twelve or thirteen players."
Finally, Guardiola paid tribute to specific players, stating, "Henry always helps to score goals."
"Pedro has a gift for being able to play on the wing and scoring so many goals.
"Ibrahimovic was not as involved as against Rubin Kazan, but his assists and unselfishness is incredible."
