The truth is not like this, does lacking to work in team to be a team merged. With this quality and hard work, can form a strong group".

Against them I played the two years that was in the Seville and marked goals. I think that they know my quality and how benefit of my services", elogiando finally to Sergio Busquets, captain culé: "in the game of positioning, have to take decisions quickly to arrive to the highest level possible. When I played against Busquets, said bother it that it is. When I turned me into a mate of team said that it is a wonderful person, a good leader".
