. He has played many great games, not just one, but many. Some people criticized him, and it is said that it does not conform to the Barcelona style, which I don’t understand. The Barcelona style deserves respect, but as a Barcelona fan, my first idol is Miguelli. I remember his blood and temper. But then, another great idol was Puyol. My dad talked to me about Galligo and I don't remember watching him play football. Therefore, Barcelona has the DNA to play offensive football and possess the ball, but there is always a player who is bloody, majestic and unique in defense. I think Araujo has this potential. If he is in good shape, he will definitely contribute a lot to Barcelona. ”

You have always regarded him as Barcelona's future captain.

"Yes, and we've talked about it. We talked about him when he was in Barcelona's B team. One day you will become the captain of Barcelona, because becoming the captain of Barcelona is of great significance. Some key positions such as central defender, midfielder, and No. 10 position. Many times you must play a leading role. I think he has the majesty, the bloodiness, the desire to win and the spirit of competition. ”

Another player you are very concerned about is Garvey. What can you say about him?

" Garvey is Garvey. I used to like watching all the echelons and went to watch the juniors, youths, and childrens on Saturday mornings. Garvey was a player who completely conquered me, and his competitive spirit conquered me. I would say he is one of the most competitive players I have ever seen so far, and I'll talk about two anecdotes. An anecdote is a very important season-end game, with Espanyol B vs. Barcelona B, who was coached by Garcia Pimienta. The Barcelona B team coach has many injuries and Garvey is forced to play. Look at the game Garvey played at Espanyol at home, they were fighting hard. That was the year of the Spanish Association A. At that time, the reorganization of the Spanish Association A and the Spanish Association B was underway, and the pressure was very high. And the best performance of the 22 players on the field is Garvey. I watched the game at Danny Hark Stadium, and that was so shocking. He played a masters game and it seemed like he had played 100 games for Barcelona B. As a sports director, many games will provide you with information and that game convinced me what kind of player Garvey will be. Another anecdote. In the same year, Barcelona youth team played against La Coruña in the final of the Youth Champions League in Marbella and lost in overtime. Garvey played that game. It was a Sunday and the weather was suffocating. I remember calling him three days later. He will join the first team at the age of 16 for pre-season training. I think we should give him this reward and skip the Barcelona B team and train directly with the first team. I remember he didn't answer the phone. When he called back, I said, ‘Gavey, where are you? ’. He replied: ‘I played football with a few friends in the village square. ’ I told him, please, you have to take a break for at least one week. But he replied, don't worry. This competitive spirit makes him unique. The majesty he showed when he made his debut against Italy for the national team, despite his young age, was already obvious. When people question Garvey, I think they are wrong. A football team can accommodate many players of different characteristics. Not everyone has to be a specific style. I don't understand why some players are more likable because they are more skilled or less skilled. Garvey has a lot of technology and I think sometimes we underestimate the level of competitiveness and value Garvey offers on the court. "

Are there any regrets in Barcelona?

"Yes. There is a positive (regret). I think we almost lost De Jong, who called and told us that he would sign for Paris at 7pm when Abidal was doing a very good job in management. I remember he called him De Jong and we went that day. We flew to Amsterdam. We said to him, 'Please wait a moment, we only ask you to give us half a day. If you still want to sign with Paris in half a day, then sign it, but don't sign it now. ’ We turned the situation around and De Jong signed with Barcelona, which is a great player for Barcelona. Then there are some players who could have come but failed to make it. I remember the case of Isaac, a player I personally like very much. I think he is a forward with Barcelona characteristics, a team-type forward and a very mobile forward. I loved him very much when he was at Real Sociedad. I can say that we were also very, very, very close at that time. But failed. And Nunez. When he was in Almeria, I remember talking to Koeman about bringing him in, doing a signing similar to Pedri. Sign him for a very little money and leave him in Almeria. But Benfica came and paid 25 million euros. We were very close to signing Nunes as a step-by-step replacement for Suarez. I think it's a pity to find a center. Failure to find a center for Barcelona for the next decade is an unfinished challenge. ”

The challenge now is to defend the champion in Jeddah United?

" Other teams are vigorously strengthening. I really like the performance of Riyadh Crescent in the Club World Cup because it proves that the leagues we won are very valuable. We led them by 8 points and eliminated them in a single-game winning and losing cup game they played at home. So, the level is very high and it is very difficult. It will be difficult to defend the title, and we still have the challenges of the AFC Champions League. What we want to do is to compete. We want to fight for three events. ”
