Even though I have made the definite decision to move home after the World Cup, I am fully concentrated on my job in Barcelona. |
Everyone must have the right to change his mind. I've longed for the European championship all the time but I have not been sure until now. I feel in great shape physically. |
I am not angry or bitter about my situation regarding playing time in Barcelona. I am fully aware of the tough competition at a world-class club. ... But anyone who is benched wants more playing time. I am no exception. |
I don't know whether there is any defense in the world capable of stopping him. |
I have adored every minute I have been here. I love the fans, I love the club. But I have already made my decision with my family and nothing will change that. |
I think we could have won the game. Sometimes you don't get the ball in the net. This was one of those nights. I hope we can be a little bit more lucky when we play at home. |
If I'm not playing at a high level then I won't be in the national team. |
It is my intention to stay on if I'm still playing at a high level. |
It was just one of those nights when things didn't go for me. It was disappointing because we had enough chances to win the game. |
It was time for me to return home. |
This is only halftime - we have to keep on our toes and do to the business at home. You have to be patient playing against 10 men, but we stayed calm and tried to come around the sides. But we kept out heads and tried to play our way. |
We bring out the best in each other. There's no limit to how good he can be, he's got great technique, (his progress) is down to him. |
We created a lot of chances and had a good style of playing. For a neutral spectator it was a good game to watch with a lot of chances but obviously we're not happy we didn't win. |
We're just going to go out there to try and do our best to win. |
