Luis Enrique: “I guarantee we will play the playoffs”10
Barca Atletic could not add another victory during their visit to Denia (1-0) but, despite the setback, Luis Enrique’s boys are experiencing a great season.
The reserves are still working to achieve promotion to the Second Division, and although the defeat has made them drop in the standings from second to third place, Luis Enrique has no doubts that his team will end up playing the playoffs for promotion.
“I’m not at all worried. I’m very confident of my group. I am sure we will qualify for the promotion playoffs, and if not, I will swallow my words. I have hundred percent trust in my team and, at the end of the season will play the playoffs”, said the coach from Asturias.
Luis Enrique lamented the defeat as his team failed to score despite getting chances to do so and ended up paying:
“We have had many shots but only few clear-cut chances. Their keeper had a great game. Their goal came after a strategical. We tried our best but lacked luck,” Lucho said.

Lucho rulez!
I wonder how good Luis Enrique is as a coach?
Athletic started very, very bad to this season, just like Pep last year, but now they seem to be cruising along.
I certainly hope they get promoted. Would be cool to use them in FIFA 11.
anyone here watches Heroes? luis enrique looks like samuel sullivan in that pic…LOL

if athletic gets promoted, they will play in segunda?
i wouldn't want that. it will be too hard for the kids although they will be physically stronger quicker
Yes, that's right.
Just look at Villarreal B in the Segunda right now, would be great to see Barca Atletic there.
Enrique looks like a Corleone in that pic, maybe Sonny
so that means that villareals youth team is better than barca since they have their youth team in segunda
It's not a youth team, it' a reserve team.
Not all of the B-players are really young players.
