SOY ANTIMADRIDISTA
“You know, Andrea, we brought this up quickly because here things go well, we don't waste time. We want to get you right away, we've already spoken to Milan, they said no. But we will not be shot down, we are Barcelona. We are used to certain responses, but at the end things always change. We will try again, meanwhile start moving.”
Until that moment no one had blurted anything out. Not even to me. I was the center of a sensational negotiation in the transfer market – of football and of luxury – without even knowing.
“If you come to us, you will find yourself in a unique position. Our jewel is La Masia, the youth sector, a pride that no other club can boast. It is a Swiss watch, a philharmonic orchestra where the sticks are not allowed nor provided, every year footballers come ready to wear our shirt. The champions are created at home, apart from you. It's all very beautiful, at the same time very tiring. The victories can drain you.”
I can feel the power of Pep's words, style, and grace and this is a translation.
