Barcelona B captain Alejandro Grimaldo has criticised senior manager Luis Enrique for his lack of communication with the club's second string.

The Catalan's B team were relegated to Segunda B last season and currently lie in 16th position in the third tier's Group 3.

Former Barca player Enrique started his coaching career with the second side in 2008 - leaving to manage Celta Vigo and Roma before returning to the Nou Camp and guiding his team to treble winning success last season.

B team defender Grimaldo has hit out at the head coach for not speaking to him and his team-mates. 'He has never told me anything,' he told radio station RAC 1.

'I have not had any contact with him, nor do I have anything to say to him.

'I work with my coach [Gerard Lopez]. I get on well with him, he helps me with everything and he helps me better.

'Let him be with his players higher up and let me be with my team,' he added.

Grimaldo has never made an appearance for the first team, despite starring for Barcelona B last season where he made 36 appearances and scored four goals.

The 20 year old was overlooked by Enrique this season after left back Jordi Alba was sidelined by injury, with the manager preferring to play either Jeremy Mathieu or Adriano in his place.
