The decision she has arrived. But the talent of Lionel messi stays in Barcelona: the Argentine, after the world uproar over his potential farewell, said objective Her future. Which will be, in fact, Blaugrana. Not without poisons: in the long interview, which you can read below, there were attacks, especially in the direction of Josep Bartomeu, outgoing president of Barcelona.
Why have you waited so long?
“First because after the defeat in Lisbon it was very difficult. We knew he was a very tough opponent, but not that he could end up in that world, giving that bad image for the club and for Barcelona. He was sick, not at all. I didn’t want anything. I just wanted time to pass and then clear everything up. “
What led you to think about parting?
“I told the club, especially the president, that I wanted to leave. I told him all year. I thought it was time to step aside. I thought the club needed younger people, new people, and I thought my adventure at Barcelona I was about to finish with a lot of regret, because I always said that I would like to finish my career here. It was a very difficult year, I suffered a lot during training, in games, in the dressing room. Everything became very difficult for me and there came a time in which I thought about looking for new goals, fresh air. It was not because of the result of the Champions League against Bayern, I had been thinking about this decision for a long time. I told the president and the president always told me that at the end of the season I could decide if I left or if I stayed and in the end he did not keep his word ”.
It was not an easy decision.
Surely I had a hard time deciding. It has nothing to do with the Bayern result, it depends on many things. I always said that I wanted to stay here. That he wanted a winning project and win titles with the club so that the Barcelona legend continues to grow. at trophy level. And the truth is that for a long time there has been no project or anything, they juggle and cover the gaps as things go. As I said before, I have always thought about the welfare of my family and the club. “
Did you feel lonely?
“No, I didn’t feel alone. I just didn’t. They were the same as always next to me. That is enough for me and strengthens me. But yes, it hurts me to hear things that people say, journalists, people who I doubt about my Barcelonismo saying things that I don’t think I deserve. It also helped me see who is who. The world of football is very difficult and there are a lot of very false people. What happened to me helped me to recognize many false people. Of which I had another consideration. It hurt me when my love for this club was questioned. Whether I leave or stay, my love for Barcelona will never change. “
What hurt you the most?
“A little bit of everything, both about Messi’s friends and about money … so many things they said hurt me. I always put the club before everything. I have had the opportunity to leave Barcelona many times. Money? Every year there could be gone and earn more money than in Barcelona. I always said that this was my home and that it was what I felt and felt. Better than here it is difficult. I felt that I needed to change, new goals, new things “.
The one-way clause.
“I will stay because the president told me that the only way out is to pay the 700 million clause. There was no other way than to go to court. And I would never go to court against Barça, because it is the club” that I love, that gave me everything in my career. They are the team of my life, they gave me everything and I gave them everything, it never crossed my mind to go to court against Barcelona ”.
Why didn’t you say anything before June 10?
“Now they hold on to this, but on June 10 we were still fighting for La Liga, in the middle of this shitty pandemic, which has upset all the dates. And that’s why I’ll stay at Barcelona.”
Many wrote that you wanted to do it wrong in Barcelona.
“I wanted to leave and it was all within my rights. I regretted that falsehoods were written. For example, that I wanted to go suing Barcelona to earn money. No, I wanted to leave because the contract said I could go free.” leave because I thought I was living my last years of happy football. But this did not find the agreement of the club. “
What do you think of the comments about the possible goodbye?
“I was saddened that someone questioned my Barcelonismo. After everything I have done for this club … I love it and I know that I will not be better anywhere else. But I also have the right to decide: I wanted new goals, new goals. And Someday I could go back anyway, because I have everything in Barcelona. My son, my family, I’m here and I wouldn’t have done anything wrong with leaving: I needed it, the club needed it and it would have been the best for everyone. “
How will you do now?
“My attitude will not change, I will always give my best. I always think about winning, I never want to lose. I always want the best for the club, for the dressing room and for myself. Did I say we couldn’t win the Champions League? The fact was Right, now I don’t know what will happen. There is a new coach, a new idea. It is a good thing, but you have to understand how the team is going to respond. What I can say is that I will stay and do my best. “
How did little Mateo take it?
“He is still small and does not know what it means to change cities, but Thiago (they are the two children of Lionel Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo, ed), on the other hand, is older and did not want to leave, change friends, school. He cried and I He said he didn’t want us to leave. It was a difficult moment for everyone, really. It was very difficult to make a decision, although I was clear about what I wanted and my wife always supported me. “
Why burofax?
“To make it official.” All season I said I wanted to leave, Bartomeu always told me that we would talk about it. But we never did, and the burofax was used to clarify that to make it official that I wanted to leave. It is not to create a scandal, but if I did not send it it would be as if nothing. They pointed out that I did not send it before June 10, but we were in the middle of competitions and that was not the time. “
