00:00I was thinking to have some experiences.

00:03One, for sure, it was to come to the Premier League.

00:07But I don't know why not Italy or why not in the US or, I don't know,

00:11even back to Japan where I played.

00:13I don't know, to have ones that you get out from your comfort zone

00:18that is the place that we have been playing or working,

00:21that it was Barcelona, okay, let's try.

00:24But you can't control how long you want to be.

00:26But then it was working, it was working,

00:29and then I was happy.

00:32I've been saying to everyone coming,

00:35the ones that they want to work in the Premier League,

00:38here is a paradise for the sporting directors.

00:43And maybe that was the reason that I kept thinking

00:49that it was maybe the best to stay, you know?

00:52And also there is a key moment, of course, in this time,

00:56when Pep became available and he wanted to go to the Premier League.

01:02So then, you know, easier to build something with Pep

01:08that it can last more time, of course.

01:11More time, of course.

01:12More time, of course.
