The 37-year-old Brazilian full-back acknowledged that if he had been “treated better” and as he deserved, he would have continued to consider it his “home.”
Barcelona management: “” I am not to throw stones at anyone, but it seems to me that the management was prostituting itself. It may be that the president was badly advised, I am not saying that it was only Josep Maria Bartomeu's fault “.
Current Barça situation: “FC Barcelona is changing the philosophy of the club, it is normal for it to have problems. For me it has lost its identity a bit, and now it has to go through a tough process to recover it.”
On his departure from the club: “They let me go without having spoken to me, but when they were unable to sign, they ran to offer me the renewal. It seemed a lack of respect. If they had treated me as I thought I deserved, I would have continued at Barça until now. a club that I love, and that I consider my home. “
A possible return: “I offered myself to FC Barcelona to come back. I went to Juventus to show that I still had a level, I wanted to come back, and Barça needed me. I would have come free, without a transfer, but they had no balls to admit that they had been wrong. I always have in mind that one day, somehow, I will return to Barcelona. It is a club that I love, the city is my home, where I want to live. Even if it is as an amateur, I will return. Insurance”.
PSG election: “The summer of 2017 I had done with Manchester City, it was to return with Pep Guardiola, but in the end I chose Paris for the family, who had suffered a lot in Turin. And also because Neymar called me, and asked me to go with him to the PSG “.
Neymar: “Neymar? All the players who leave Barça end up regretting leaving. I don't know what he thinks now, but I would love for him to come back. When I knew he would leave, I told him that nowhere would he be like in Barcelona, but he did not answer me “.
Messi: “Messi is as big as the FC Barcelona shield. But when you look around you and see that everything is a disaster, it is normal that you want to go out. What he has done is so big that they should put his name to the stadium.”
Club Power: “The power of a club is the players, not the president or the board. The footballers are the ones who support the club, the ones who get results. That is why the players have to have a voice.
Follow-up to Barcelona: “I follow all the games of FC Barcelona. I like it occasionally, but in general, because it has individualities but it has no identity.”
Dest: “Sergiño Dest has a lot of quality and has a chance of succeeding at Barça, but I don't like to make comparisons. It happened to me with Cafu … It doesn't make sense. If I have to give Dest some advice, it's very simple: that pass the ball to Messi “
