Of Italian football, his first stop after leaving the boatremembers that “in Italy I enjoyed Serie A, although at the same time it was like a contrast to everything I experienced before in Barça and in the League. When I arrived in Italy, with a different style of play and other concepts, my process of adapting to the changes has started quite a bit.I consider this as the beginning of the learning process of adapting to new teams, thoughts and hobbies. Rome and the Milan They are two fantastic clubs where I am proud to be a part of their history”.

This is probably my second home so we live with fans of stocksWe live incredible matches. At my best moment I broke my knee and it was a good challenge because I know how to suffer and I recovered well. I’m playing again, having fun, scoring goals… Stoke is a part of my heart in a part not as big as in boatbut probably bigger than other clubs”.

Of Germany maintains an emotional experience: “It’s a short process, but very intense. Through mainz For the first time I experienced a situation of fighting not to lose a category and the celebration equaled a title. I remember the months of suffering, fighting for the place below. Personally, it was difficult for me to adapt to a 4-4-2 system with a counter-attacking game model, although I ended up playing and performing well. Salvation is achieved in the field of Bayern drawing 2-2 and I scored a goal that also brought me a score in four out of five major leagues and because of the celebration I experienced something very special”.

Of Holland is left having met the ajax inside: “I always felt that I was late for the Eredivisie because I consider it a very good and very young League where football is played very well in historic clubs that attracted me a lot.

It was a very good year where we won the League and played in the Champions League. I also suffered a bit prolonged injury and had a great learning experience. Playing at Ajax is an honor”.

He came to MLS from USA to play for a Canadian club, the Montreal Impact trained by his former Barça teammates, Thierry Henry: “It’s a great discovery in a city like Montreal, one of the best I’ve found myself.

and it ended with Japanesewith an important experience that marked him: “That’s where I really appreciated going to three different continents. Japan is another world, I realized the journey I was making with personal experiences. On a personal level, it was a year and a half with three injuries important to Vissel Kobe. Discovering a competitive League and a culture where you learn new things every day, with concepts I still apply to this day, changed my way of thinking and affected the way I act and visualize of things. . I made a connection that would bind me for years with them. I’m very happy to have met them.”
