(Satisfied) “We had a good approach.  I think we could have won this match, but when you have a player sent off there’s no choice but to defend.  I’m delighted with the point”.

(Sacrifice) “Work, as I’ve always said, is non-negotiable.  We need to go out there using this approach, today things went well and we’re happy”.

(Grateful to his former team) “Thank you very much.  They always treated me with affection, and the fact I’m competing in the First Division is thanks to them (FC Barcelona).  It gave me goose-bumps (going out to applause when he was substituted), which motivates you a great deal”.
