After the controversy that had been generated by the recent statements by Samuel Umtiti in which there was a translation error from French to Spanish, the US Lecce player has spoken through his social networks to 'correct' the error

Calendar of FC Barcelona

In the FC Barcelona "the only that needed was to feel me appreciated, useful and respected. In Catalonia happened four years in prison, no only to sportive level, but also in the daily life", had been the supposed statements of Samuel Umtiti to 'channel +' recently. They were some words that generated a lot of controversy and descondento in the City Condal, but the current fubolista of the US Lecce has gone out in his own defence, through his social networks, to report an error of translation.

"To all the journalists, newspapers... If you need help to translate, can call me the next time. Dépression Is equal to depression, at all that see with "prison" or prison. Thank you very much", it wrote the central of 29 years in the last hours. It is conscious of all the stir that had caused the statements and went out to the step to clear it.

Umtiti Did not hide his frustration in Barcelona

In any case, what does not happen unobserved was the negative experience of Umtiti during his last years in the picture of the City Condal by the few opportunities that was having. It is not a secret for anybody that, although it landed like one of the central more promising of Europe, his constant problems in the left knee caused that it went losing 'bellows' in the plans of Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién, Ronald Koeman and finally Xavi Hernández. It was in free fall until it decided to leave in research of new opportunities.

"At the beginning, after my mudanza to Spain, felt me appreciated and played to a good level. Then I began to feel distrust, felt me badly and darse that already anybody believed in me", resumió the born in Yaundé, the one who no arrepiente to having taken the decision to leave to the Lecce, where himself has been able to have regularity and has gone back to feel footballer after all the 'hits' in Catalonia.

The statement 'real' of Umtiti

Like this then , descartada the controversy by the errors of translation, what really aimed the central defender was that "I do not know if it was a depression, but went truly complicated and difficult to all the levels. I shut me a lot with my near people. There were moments in Barcelona that did not want to go out of house. My friends said me to go out to change the ideas, but said them that no, that wanted to be only. It was very complicated".
