Barcelona on best behaviour, assures Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique has no concerns over his players'
behaviour despite Javier Mascherano's red card on
Sunday.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique says his players behave well
during games amid fears Javier Mascherano could be handed a
four-match ban for a foul-mouthed rant at a linesman.

Mascherano was shown a red card in Sunday's 3-1 win over
Eibar for shouting "the c*** of your mother" at the official - Luis
Enrique among those to defend the midfielder, stating it carried
different connotations in his native Argentina.

However, there are fears Mascherano could recieve a similar
punishment to Gerard Pique after the defender was banned for
four matches for a similar outburst in the Supercopa de Espana.

A four-game ban for Mascherano would rule him out of El
Clasico next month but Luis Enrique stated his desire not to
dwell on the issue.

"The ban will be whatever they decide it to be, irrespective of
what I think," he told reporters.

"I'll just accept the ban. I won't comment before or after and I
won't dwell on it anymore.

"I spoke with Masche and the whole team. I think there is an
improvement in behaviour among the players and I don’t think
there is any behaviour different to the normal protests that
happen in a match and takes place with all teams.

"My job is to deal with the obstacles that you come across
during a campaign and that is what we are doing."

Along with Mascherano's possible suspension, Luis Enrique is
currently without Lionel Messi, Rafinha, Andres Iniesta and Sergi
Roberto due to injuries.
