00:00Look, there is one thing like every human being no intervene on zero, zero intervene.

00:06It's where we born. We don't decide of that.

00:11Mom and dad decide in certain moments and nine months later we are here.

00:15But we don't decide. I didn't decide to be Catalan.

00:19You don't decide to be, didn't decide to be English.

00:23So that is a reality, the influence.

00:25So I understand completely the people, it is normal, you know,

00:29to be managers for the national team when you were born.

00:32I know we are proud, you know, where we are, where we were born,

00:36where we live, the education that we had.

00:38But the world is so big, so big.

00:41And you have to be open-minded, you know.

01:03I don't like to just be criticized for just the fact you were born in a place like you didn't intervene, you know.

01:10I'm not guilty to be Catalan, I'm not.

01:12So I just want to be born there.
