DAL NOSTRO INVIATO A BARCELLONA
“The game against Valencia gave us great confidence, me and the team. Lamine is one of the best players in the world, he has to continue like that. We have scored a lot this year, but we are not thinking about records. In the head we have the matches, we want to win, that’s what matters after all.”
“Even though I have received insults, you don’t have to tarnish all of Spanish soccer for three or four people who do it. To me, insults do not make me hot or cold, it has already happened on other occasions. Whether they call me nigger or not…I am proud to be like that. You have to let these things go….”
“I am twenty-one years old but I am one of the veterans here, we are a group of young people with a great desire to win and improve, as well as keep learning. I feel good, it was not easy to come back after an injury of several months. I get along well with everyone but here we have players like Pedri, Lamine … they make up a really incredible team.”
“Rotations in goal, what do you think? Pena is fine, I spend a lot of time with Inaki, he is one of the hardest workers on this team. Among the players there are similar situations, there is here can play or not. We have always been united in the locker room. In what can I improve? I’m only 21 years old, in soccer we’re getting a little used to it badly-at 19 you think you can already be among the best in the world. But here I am playing in the first team in Barcelona.”
“Our path in the Champions League? We have a great team, we have already won the Spanish Super Cup but there are still many games left. We are also doing well in Europe, we faced strong teams and won. Atalanta is a great team, they are doing well in Serie A, a very good job. Last year they won the Europa League, a very good season. It will be a complicated game like all of them. How does Gasperini’s way of playing look to me? I can’t answer that….”
