The Barcelona had him to him between the possible exits to do box and can fulfil with the Fair Play to be able to fichar, but the Nordic has other plans. "I do not go to any part, for nothing. It knew where it came when fiché by the Barça, am incredibly happy and can not think in another thing that was not to follow here after the summer", affirmed.
The posture of the central could not be more conclusive and insisted in that it is tremendously calm on his future, although the campaign of the Barça was not being good, with all what this comports. "When somebody like me knows what goes to happen, the calm is total. The other is only noise. Yes, it has been a bad season. But personally I do not want to surrender me", it stood out the defender.
Christensen showed all his support to Xavi
On the other hand, 'it wetted' on the exit of Xavi Hernández and ensured that the announcement of his course has not affected in at all to the changing room. "It was something odd because it still follows with us so it has not gone and the things, for the moment, follow as always.

To the thread of the decision of the trainer of Terrassa, Christensen wanted to show him his support, since it was he the one who decided ficharle in 2022, and thanks to him could fulfil his dream to play in the FC Barcelona.

"I think a lot in the criticisms of the past year that we obtained a lot of victories by 1-0... When we look the parties, think that play an excellent football until we mark. Our problem the past year was that we leave to play after marking a goal. This year it has been different. We have taken decisions too fast and have been too opened like team. These are things that really depend on we, the players. Because we have not had this calm and are we those that have to take better decisions. We have to go back to the fact that we have to dominate the parties", commented.
Christensen follows feeling central
The Danish also pronounced on the new position that has given him Xavi this campaign. The defender is playing a lot of pivote by the 'bloodletting' defensive that is having in the Barça this season, although it left clear that he follows feeling defence. There have not been indications that I will be midfield player from now. I keep on being defender, but have crossed a difficult period and my work is to do what can to help to the team", declared.
Finally, it defended the 'rajada' of Frenkie of Jong against the media for influencing of negative way in the fans. "It exists a common understanding that there is periodic that they have to write 20 pages each day. If they express his opinion on what have to do and how have to play there is not problem, the ours problem is when the people especula on things or builds on something that is not true. It affects to Frenkie and affects us to the rest, because the people doubts of if believe it or no", concluded.
