🇪🇸🥹 Marc Pubill in his Spain press conference: "I wanted to thank El Cholo Simeone. He has changed my life in a short period of time. He gave me private lessons to teach me the concepts of playing as a centre-back."
🇺🇾❤️🩹 Luis Suárez in an interview about Barça, its journalists and Atlético Madrid:
"At Barça, you have terrible holidays with your family, then you start looking ahead and wondering what will happen with your future, and suddenly it’s: “Suárez has to leave,” “Suárez wants to leave,” “Suárez wants to leave”, and there wasn’t even a coach appointed yet.
And every day it was the same thing. Every single day.
“They’re going to reach an agreement with Suárez for him to leave,” “they need to separate him from Messi,” “they’re a problem in the dressing room,” this, that, and the other.
Then there comes a moment when you say: “Why is nobody from the club calling me and telling me anything directly?”
A coach arrives, and after one or two days he tells you: “I need to talk to you. You’re not in my plans from a footballing perspective.”
And that’s when something doesn’t add up with everything that had been said before.
If you tell me: “Look, the club wants to move on from you,” then you say, “Okay, fine. Let’s reach an agreement and that’s that.”
But the press, seemingly briefed by the club, was saying they didn’t want me there anymore because of dressing-room issues and all sorts of other things.
Then the coach comes and says it’s for footballing reasons, when I had always been, behind Leo, the player who scored the most goals.
Did it hurt? Yes. Things happen for a reason.
I accepted it while hurting. Yes, I suffered.
I suffered because of my family too.
I suffered because of the change my family would have to go through as well.
But fortunately, I went to a team where I could prove that I was still at the top level.
I had the luck and privilege of winning a league title with Atlético de Madrid, showing that Suárez was still very much capable and relevant."

💣🚨 MAJOR BREAKING - Atlético Madrid with ANOTHER statement to @mundodeportivo, calling out Barça, FABRIZIO ROMANO and EL CHIRINGUITO:
"It may seem like a joke or humor, but this is very serious. We’ve been very angry with FC Barcelona for quite some time. It was done ironically to hold up a mirror to the Catalan club and show what they’re doing.
Fabrizio Romano’s messages, reports from journalists who cover Barça, situations where Cerezo goes to Barcelona for lunch and gets ambushed with inappropriate questions about negotiating with Laporta over Julián, questions directed at our players in the mixed zone…
A dinner is organized in Barcelona and El Chiringuito is tipped off so they can go and film Juanma López leaving the restaurant.
An offer is leaked and we’re told it has been sent, but nothing has arrived here at Atlético.
This is OVER. We’re very angry, and this was our way of showing it.
What’s clear is that Atlético holds all the cards. The player is protected by a €500 million release clause and has a long-term contract until 2030.
We’re delighted with him. He has a long contract, he’s fully protected, and we’re counting on him for next season.
For now, the club has not considered breaking relations with Barcelona, but it has made it clear that it will not tolerate any more situations of this nature involving its player.
Julián cannot be signed through a fixed fee paid over several years plus add-ons. It’s €500 million in cash that would have to be deposited at La Liga headquarters.
If Barcelona had done things the proper way, the agent would have nothing to do with it. But if you bypass the club, then you’re not doing things as you should.
Agents live from this. It’s normal; it’s what they usually do because it’s their job.
THE PROBLEM IS BARCELONA!"
HERE WE GO! Hemos enviado un fax al @FCBarcelona_es con nuestra oferta de traspaso: 4 entradas para el concierto de Bad Bunny de mañana, una suscripción anual al ABC y una bolsa de pipas. Esperamos ansiosos la respuesta para preparar el ‘announce’.
