he is probably translating what ronaldo told him.
Saw a Barca TV documentary on Bobby Robson's season in Barca and eventhough I followed Barca very closely (that season especially) I still learned new things.
He really was treated unfairly by fans and the press who were still hurt over Cruyff dismisal.
I am now confident that that Barca would have won La Liga too (missed by 2 points only) alongside 3 trophies had they not had to play 14 games more than Madrid that season.
Copa matches were particularly tough as we've beaten Real in first round, Atletico in quarters and Final itself was against one of the hottest teams in the league - Betis.

It'll be 15 years at the end of this month since Bobby Robson passe away.
I just found this. Ronaldo, Pep and Robson talking about the most memorable win of 1996/1997 while he was here along with Ronaldo.
We won the Copa and European Cup Winners Cup that season but it wasn't enough to let him stay.

I remember taping the highlights and playing it on my father's video recorder over and over and over again.

As you see in the clip LVG is in the stands. Watching the documentary (the clip is from Bobby Robson: More Than a Manager), I remember Robson was near sacking and this Atletico Madrid game was crucial. Turning point in the season.

Crazy how they were 2 points away from winning La Liga too. Could've been one of the greatest seasons in Barca's history. Ronaldo probably reached his peak at this club in that season(and arguably the highest peak we had behind Messi only).
