00:00 I was told, I was made to understand, I was told by the media, I was told in the face.

00:09 It was very clear, I was spoken to violently, I was told.

00:13 So I was convinced that I was not going to play.

00:16 The people who saved me, it's Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, the sporting director.

00:22 It's them who saved me. That's the truth.

00:24 Without them, I would have never set foot on the field.

00:27 And the truth is, it's strictly there. That's why I've always had this recognition

00:31 in relation to the coach, in relation to the sporting director.

00:34 And so that's why my ambition this year was different.

00:38 And I hear all the criticisms because I think I'm the best person

00:44 who understands my performances the best and who analyzes them the best.

00:48 So I have no problem coming down the guard here and saying that

00:52 it was maybe a little less high in my standards.

00:55 Of course, compared to other players, it's always high.

00:58 But when you compare it to my standards and what I'm capable of doing, it's a little less good.

01:01 But as I said, in relation to everything I've experienced, just playing,

01:05 and beyond the statistical footprint, even playing, coming and repeating the matches,

01:09 always trying to be there for my team, winning trophies,

01:12 that was my greatest pride.

01:14 But it's sure that next year I won't settle for a year like that.

01:16 That's for sure.
