"And I think at one point, for me I will use my own stories, I didn't like to play high and wide at Barcelona. I hated it.
"But I had to do it for the team. I didn't like after 100 caps and I don't know how many goals… I had to go and play on the left.
"I didn't hear anyone saying, 'Oh, what a nice gesture to go and play on the left'.
