Stay a year more was a good decision. I feel always important, but I believe that this is the moment. I need a change, and I have a beautiful project in the Qatar. I signed a contract for two season, and for to train me at the Aspire Academy with my family. It is the ideal place to train us.
Today I announced to the locker room and coach... But this was coming. The decision was already taken [when Barca offered me a contract extension]. Now I want to say goodbye to the fans, these last games will be spectacular for me. My main goal is to return to Barca.
Starting last summer would have been a rushed decision. I have had all year to think about.
When the public sing my name, I have goosebumps but what wonder my head and my body. For my heart, it is more difficult.
Much talked with Luis Enrique. I told him early in the season that I wanted to leave. He convinced me to stay, he was honest with me and I thank him.
The scenario is perfect. We won la Liga and we have two finals to play. I will take every minutes.
Do not hold hurts me, but I work for the group. I love this shirt.
