I want to say that I am very centred in this, not having to be the new Busquets. I do not think that there is anybody that can do it. I grew seeing him…“, it began saying.
In this sense, Andreas exposed what, according to him, will be key to consolidate like a solution in the position of mediocentro of the Barcelona picture. “For me, it treats a bit to find a paper that adapt to me. In the two parties that played, there is something that have to choose by me same. Any excuse that arise, have to choose it by me same in the future”, added.
To close, Christensen explained the very that has felt like pivote and how expects to evolve in his game day after day. “What seems us very important, or if we can lidiar with adverse situations, am I the one who has to begin.
