excerpts from messi's interview with el mundo deportivo.
Q: Speaking of ‘cracks,’ did it surprise you that Cristiano Ronaldo did not rule out Barça?
A: No, it didn’t surprise me with what he said. I see it as normal. Everyone wants to play at Barcelona or Real Madrid. They are the best teams in the world, and anyone would want to come.
Q: And in reverse, would you say the same?
A: No, me no. I will not go to Real Madrid. I’m very happy at Barcelona and I don’t think about anything else. My intention, and I’ve already said it many times, is to stay here a long time.
Q: For all the money that Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, might put on the table?
A: Not for any money that they might give me.
Q: Did the possibility of playing for Spain exist?
A; It never occured to me to play with a national team other than Argentina. I am Argentine and I feel for my national team very much.
Q: Is it a dream to win it?
A: It’s the maximum, as much for me as for Argentina.
Q: It would be the culmination of two brutal years.
It would be barbaric.
Q: What a shame that Gabi Milito did not enter finally enter into Argentine’s list for the World Cup in South Africa.
A: Yes, it’s a shame because he is an important player for the national team and for me. He’s someone that I get along with very well and I would have liked it had he been on the list. He has spent a year screwed. After that he recovered and became important for the team. He has played very well, but he’s been very close. It’s gone over a bit poorly with him.
lol google translations gone wrong again.
so the word injured/on the sidelines in catalan means screwed in english when you translate it directly?
or did he actually say "fucked" in catalan? lol
barbaric lol...i cant imagine messi going nuts. i can imagine the likes of samuel, maradona and mascherano eating people up though lol
btw what a loyal kid!!
and i thought he would be caught off guard when the reporter asked him
"And in reverse, would you say the same?"lol
