“È sempre difficile farlo capire, e non so perché, ma nessuno di noi vorrebbe muoversi da Barcellona: c'è un mix di gratitudine, vita serena e calcio competitivo che ci fa sventolare come tante bandiere.”
“El sentirte feliz como persona es superior a cualquier triunfo, es como lo veo.”
“Escuché el silencio y sabía que el balón iba adentro.”
“Kalise para todos».[relevancia dudosa]”
“Traducción: «¡Viva el Barça, viva Cataluña y viva Fuentealbilla!.”
“Citazioni in ordine temporale.”
“Tenir una nena et dóna una altra dimensió de la vida. Arribes a casa i estàs amb ella, i si no té força la treus d'on sigui per anar a passejar i jugar. Un fill et dóna la vida.”
“M'agrada venir al poble i veure el camp, les vinyes, passejar-hi... Em sento molt orgullós quan hi vinc amb l'Anna i la Valèria. Som de mons diferents però m'agrada i em fa il·lusió que elles ho gaudeixin i s'hi sentin a gust. Són les meves arrels, i mai les he volgut perdre.”
“Anche se da piccolo giocavo a futsal, io non ho mai smesso di provare a fare ciò che faccio. [il calciatore professionista]”
“Sóc molt tossut, arribo a casa i vull veure el partit que acabo de jugar, el repasso... Abans fallava dues passades en un partit i no dormia en tota la nit. Però amb el temps acabes assimilant millor les coses, i ara no li dono tanta importància a segons què.”
“If I played futsal I wouldn't stop trying to do what I do.”
“No juego para ganar balones de oro, juego para ser feliz.”
“El primer cop que vaig anar a un entrenament amb el primer equip, ni sabia on estava el vestidor. Jo tenia 16 anys. Em vaig creuar amb en Luis Enrique, i ell m'hi va acompanyar.”
“Messi, Neymar e Suarez rappresentano il tridente migliore della storia. Secondo il mio parere, Leo è addirittura il numero uno di tutta la storia del calcio, nessuno ha mai fatto quello che ha fatto lui.”
“La meva intenció és acabar la carrera al Barça, perquè hi porto des dels 12 anys i seria molt maco tenir una vida sencera aquí. Em queden dos anys de contracte, i espero que les dues parts, la del club i la meva, vagin per bon camí.”
“Els primers mesos a la Masia tenia el pensament de si podria aguantar o no. Però al final penses que ja que hi has anat, has d'aguantar com sigui. A les nits ho passava malament perquè és quan em sentia més sol. Al principi ni ens trucàvem per telèfon amb els pares, perquè només ens posàvem a plorar.”
“Si lo sé, no marco el gol.”
“In nazionale è impossibile replicare i meccanismi più complessi degli schemi del club, manca il tempo per renderli automatici. Però otto giocatori del Barça fanno sì che lo stile di gioco sia analogo. Poi, i compagni di altri club ci arricchiscono con le loro diverse qualità.”
“El gol de Stamford Bridge va ser un golàs. La celebració de la banqueta, al córner, el públic baixant de les graderies... Va haver-hi gent que es va lesionar amb aquell gol, saltant i caient.”
“Al Barça siamo felici di dividere lo spogliatoio senza primedonne o gelosie. Non è nemmeno una questione di umiltà. Semplicemente, a me non frega nulla di avere atteggiamenti da superstar. Dovrei recitarli, perché io non sono così.”
“Dani Jarque era d'aquelles persones que estimava molt, ho portava per dins. Sempre ens canviàvem les samarretes. Va ser un cop molt dur. Al final hi ha moltes coses que estan per sobre dels equips. Quan fas les coses de cor i tot això surt a la llum la gent ho agraeix. Som persones.”
“Visca el Barça, visca Catalunya y visca Fuentealbilla!.”
“Em sento de Fuentealbilla, espanyol i català, perquè porto 17 anys a Catalunya, la meva dona és catalana i vivim allà. Catalunya ens ho ha donat pràcticament tot, sóc una persona molt agraïda. Catalunya m'ha donat moltísisim a mi i a la meva família. No és incompatible sentir-me d'un lloc i l'altre. És tan lògic que se'm fa difícil que no s'entengui.”
“Sono ammirato dal fatto che Del Piero continui a segnare, è un fuoriclasse eterno. Ma qualcuno un po' più giovane non ce l'avete?”
“No juego para ser el número uno, sino para ser feliz.”
“Andres per me è il miglior centrocampista che ho visto giocare: per la qualità che esprime, per il tocco di palla, non lo scopro certo io. È incomparabile, perché è molto, molto diverso. Possiede una classe e un'eleganza incredibili, che lo rendono diverso da tutti gli altri centrocampisti. (Neymar)”
“Andrés sta giocando molto bene. È un giocatore davvero molto bravo. Tecnicamente è perfetto e gioca anche con una gran disinvoltura, quasi, quasi senza sforzo. È come quando Federer gioca a tennis, a malapena suda. Iniesta quasi non fatica quando gioca ed è straordinario che sia un nostro giocatore. (Vicente del Bosque)”
