From Barcelona to Paris. Tell us how you lived it.
It was a big change that, as I said at the time, I did not imagine. Luckily, I am already settled, the children are already in school, we are more or less installed in the day-to-day routine. We are happy.
Have you gotten used to the idea of not being at Barça?
Yes. To this day, when I watch the games, it makes me feel like it or makes me want to … or I remember things from games at the Camp Nou, with the people … It’s reliving a bit of everything that was. Now, as I just said, I am calmer, more assimilated everything and, obviously, thinking about everything I have here and what is coming at the sports and family level. We are also enjoying this city, which is wonderful despite the weather. We were lucky to have a nice weather too, with the occasional rain and cold but we are very happy. The truth.
Would you have played for free?
The truth is that, as I explained on my way out, I did everything possible to stay, never at any time was I asked to play for free. I was asked to cut my salary by fifty percent and I did it without any problem. We were in a position to help the club more. The desire and desire of me and my family was to stay in Barcelona. Nobody asked me to play for free but at the same time it seems to me that the words said by the president are out of place. They hurt me because I think he doesn’t need to say that, it’s like getting the ball off you and not assuming its consequences, or taking charge of things. This makes people think or generates a type of doubt that I think I do not deserve. “

Have you spoken to Laporta again?
Nerd.
How do you see Barça at the moment?
He has a great squad, he plays very well. I see them whenever I can. Important and very good guys appeared, as is the case with Gavi. At the team level they are fine. With the return of Kun and Dembélé, if he returns well, they will be a great help for the team. He will always be there because he is one of the best in the world. He is always going to fight for the league and for the objectives, although it may or may not happen later.
Do you have any relationship with any of your former colleagues?

Yes. I speak often with Kun Agüero, who was not a partner but is a great friend. With Busi, with Jordi Alba I also speak often.
Did any former partner disappoint you?
No, not disappointed, because I know them all by heart. Those who expected to tuck me in, did. It took them by surprise as it did me. They were by my side and supporting me at all times.
