If we are as lucky as I was with Dépor and Madrid, we will surely be champions

Being a Barça player you have to win things, be well, we have leaders in the dressing room, people with experience who have lived games like him tomorrow and they have to transmit it to young people. For Mingueza, Araujo, Pedri … it is different from what they have experienced and the older ones have to transmit. But my role does not change much because each game is the most important that we have to. play”.
Comeback
“In the last 17 games, almost half of the championship, we have 15 victories. It is something impressive. And it had to be that way, because otherwise we would not be fighting for the championship.

We know the difficulty of winning the games because all the rivals play for something. The team has I’ve learned that you have to go game by game. You don’t have to go crazy for the possibility that exists if you win. The important thing is tomorrow and be prepared for a difficult game. “
