In football he never told me that I had to do better or that I had to win. He was demanding, but he had no obligation to win. It is easier to know how to win than to lose. They teach us to respect. the other from childhood, but then you have to put it into practice. You have to be lord in victory and in defeat. We have had painful defeats.

And I hope that Laporta fulfills the mandate. But I don't know, I don't know if I will be president in the future …. I feel like I'm still a footballer and I have a good time. “
Business: “I always need challenges. I have not gotten into business to earn money. It is an incentive, but I keep the experiences, meeting people, other cultures, travel … and that makes you improve as a person. And that is priceless” .
