In the summer it was he has been fine, but in the winter think of yourself. in January at eleven o’clock at night in the street, waiting. Think of the last thing you did when, if you want to devote yourself to it, this is your priority, and there are times when you don’t start. practice until nine o’clock at night” .

The injury: “If there was a day I woke up sad, I didn’t force it, I was sad”

Regarding the injury, he said “I started to feel sad when I saw my teammates in Spain-England. I saw that game as very sad. Because these are games that I want to play and suddenly I know that I’m not going to play them. And the same happened to me this week, the team (Barcelona) is playing in the quarterfinals against Roma, this weekend we are playing against Real Madrid and these are games that make me sick and see that it can be done mo’ t, that you’re incapacitated… But I wouldn’t know say if it was worse then or now. I try to contribute what I can from my situation, but then I get home and I’m sad. Like this po”, and added that “with this injury, if there was a day that I woke up sad, then I didn’t force myself, I was sad. I let myself go and there are days when I get angry and I don’t know if why.. Then suddenly the others I felt fine and at the same time I was paralyzed. But it’s true that when I’m not injured, when I’m active, I try to be within that balance, not come too high or too low. These are things learned over the years, experience.”

Look at the case of Messi, there are 17 seasons that make a difference. It’s crazy. He is a hybrid of the two.
