I have a question: Why don’t people like and, in a way, hate Ferran? I know the number one reason is obviously his performance, but some also mention his personality and character. Personally, I don’t know… As a player, he doesn’t impress me either.
i have absolutely nothing against him as a person, so i don't know. he seems like a genuinely nice guy off the pitch. he annoys me a lot on the pitch sometimes (even though he does occasionally have his moments, i just wish he had them a lot more regularly)

MARCA interview after receiving the ‘MARCA Leyenda’ award
- my translation -
Q: You have won almost everything in your career. Do you feel satisfied with everything you already achieved?  “I changed a bit last year because I left Madrid, I needed extra motivation in my career after winning what I won in Madrid. I needed a change in order to be able to express my football because I think I still have a lot to offer: to me, the fans, Juve, and I'm sure it will go on like this. I still feel motivated and I like what I do. Of course, what I like most is winning titles. Last year, thank God we won three: Coppa Italia, Italian league and Nations League with Portugal, so it was a top year.”
Q. I can't imagine how the CR7 Museum is, does it have space for more trophies? “The museum is very good, if there is no space, we’ll work for more. We cannot leave out any, Some trophies are more important than others, but we have room for all of them, Ballon D’Or, Best Player, Golden Shoe, Pichichi, whatever. As I always say to my friends: a trophy is a trophy.”
Q. What does winning the MARCA Leyenda award mean to you? “It is a very important prize that only legends can win and obviously it had to be Cristiano too. After what I have done in my career, especially at Real Madrid, it is a great honour to receive it and I want to thank MARCA for giving me this opportunity and receiving it here in Madrid. I am very happy to return here to Spain and Madrid.”
Q. Sarri said that you have freedom on the pitch, what do you think? “It is a way of expressing oneself, but obviously that will not be the case because there is a team concept and I have a job: to cover spaces, set pieces ... I will do the same things I was doing at Madrid or in my first year with Juve or in the national team. I will defend, close spaces, being an attacker with freedom but with defensive work too because only a team with everyone working together can win important things.”
Q. You said you would play until 40. Do you still think like that? “I am not worried at all in that regard because it will depend a lot on what I feel, on my motivation, because physically it will never be a problem. Up to 40 you have to take care about yourself well and I think it won’t be the most important factor, honestly. It is more the psychological aspect that will make a difference. I hope that nothing happens until 40, but if something happens, that’s just the way it is. Life is like that, everything has a beginning and an end, so Cristiano is not going to last a lifetime, logically, but I still feel strong to keep winning important things.”
Q. Can this be the year of Juventus? “It is always the year of Juventus, of Madrid, of Barça, when only one club can win a competition like the Champions League. I give you the example of Barcelona: how much money have they invested in players in the last five years and didn’t win the Champions League. That’s not how it works. Juve has been reinforced very well and it is a team that will fight to win titles, as always, but this will depend on many factors: the groups, the moment, the injuries, the luck ..  But as I always say: do not obsess with the Champions League. Juve will win it, if not this year, hopefully it will be next year, in two years, considering the way they work, how they are planning. All the ingredients are there to win it.”
Q. Did Buffon talk with you about about winning the Champions League? “He hasn't told me anything about that. We talked because he is someone I’ve admired since we had faced each other many times and he told me he was very happy that we are together now. I told him the same thing because in my opinion he is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, if not the best. Buffon, Casillas, are goalkeepers who will remain in football history. I am very happy to be together with him because he is a five star man.”
Q. Have you missed Madrid this past year? “I was living here for nine years, a part of my story happened in Madrid and I don't talk only about football because everybody knows that, but about relationships in general, my children, Cristianito, I met my girlfriend here. There are many stories that cannot be erased, the past doesn’t just get turned off. That's why I still have a house here, I come here from time to time, looking after the hotel, the hair clinic, the gyms, friends too. It is a city that I love and I will always come here. I don't rule out living here again one day at all.”
Q: With whom do you spend more time at Juve? “The Juve group is top, it was a surprise for me. I thought it was different, that everyone just cares for themselves, but that’s not the case. The truth is that it is a very good group, very united and I get along well with everyone. Logically it is easier with the Portuguese or the Spanish, with whom I speak more, but I get along well with everyone.”
Q. And who do you miss in Madrid, maybe Marcelo? “Marcelo is very happy here in Madrid, Everyone leads his life and I always got along very well with him. I talk a lot with him, with Casemiro, with Pepe, Coentrao, I got along very well with everyone. Marcelo is a very lively boy and I miss him.”
Q. And who do you think would fit into Juve? “Top players always fit into big teams and of course Madrid has an excellent team, they have invested a lot of money, new players and for sure they will have a very good season. I am not going to tell you names although obviously some would fit in, but I am very happy with the Juve team, we reinforced ourselves very well and we have a great staff, with very good people also on the bench. If you ask Hazard in Madrid he will say the same about his team. I will express appreciation for my team because I also believe that it is a very competitive and excellent team.”
Q: How do you see Barça?  “Like every years, I see them very strong. They have been reinforced very well with De Jong, Griezmann, like last year with Coutinho, Dembelé ... It’s always one of the best teams in the world. The same applies for Madrid, with Hazard, Jovic, Mendy ... Juve too ... I am aware of Madrid because I have left a legacy there, I have left friends, it is the club with which I have won the most things and I am 100% sure that they will have a great season.”
Q. There is a lot of talk about Neymar, do you see him in Barcelona? “I don't know, he's a great player and I get along very well with him. We had a video shooting together recently. But there is a lot of talk about him, that he is going to Madrid, Barça, Juve ... This is the job of the press because they want to sell, but I think that he will stay in Paris and if not, may he look where he is happy and where he can express his great football, may he have no injuries, not a lot of trouble and no worries. I worry for him because I like to see the boy playing. Regardless of where he will play, may he take care of himself and have no injuries, that's what I wish for him.”
Q. Tell me your three favourites for the Champions League. “Always the same, regardless of whom they sign: Madrid, Barça, Atlético, Juve, Bayern, Liverpool ... I may have forgotten to mention some, but I really see it as usual. Barça and Madrid, who spent more money than everyone else, City too, are perhaps the favourites, but in football not always the favorites do win.”
Q. Have you played an important role in the signing of De Ligt? “I don t think so. I like it that you ask me that question because after the end of the Nations League match I made a remark out of companionship, as a footballer, because everyone does that. It is normal because he is 19 years old and everything remains on the pitch. I said it (’come to Juve’) jokingly but I would never influence a coach or a manager regarding signings. But the truth is that I am happy that De Ligt is with us.”
Q. Do you see yourself living in Madrid one day? “Sure! As I said before, Madrid is a city that we all love and I don’t rule it out. Now I am focused on Italy and Juve and we are all very happy, but you never know. In this city we have lived very beautiful moments and of course I could come here to live. We'll see. Now let's think about enjoying the moment, the present.”

Express Football Tickets | Football Online Tickets 2019
FC Barcelona has supporters located around the world, making it one of the best-supported clubs. Added to that is Barcelona proving to be such a hit as a city break destination - it is therefore little wonder that so many visitors reserve Barcelona football tickets in advance. Tickets are available from the official website, although the seats are often spread about and not next to each other. However, official ticket agents offer tickets at a higher price and can supply continuous blocks of tickets for most matches.
FC Barcelona was in miserable shape at the beginning of the decade with a loss of confidence that meant that failed to win the trophies they were aiming for - the result was a shrinking fan base that was disillusioned with the club. However, interest in FC Barcelona began to rise again with the appointment of Joan Laporta as club president in 2003 and the subsequent selection of Frank Rijkaard as manager. best place to buy football tickets
While Laporta had promised to bring David Beckham to the club, the English player had other ideas and signed with Barcelona's arch-rival instead - Real Madrid. In place of Beckham, Laporta's team of directors brought in Ronaldinho, who stunned fans with his exciting and enthusiastic style of play. Other notable players of the period included Iniesta, Deco and Samuel Eto'o, while Victor Valdes and Carles Puyol remain popular local lads.
While Ronaldinho's star began to face, Lionel Messi was on the ascendancy - there was a magic window of time when the pair were both performing fantastically. The young Argentine had been brought up in the club's youth system and quickly became a hit with fans and remains today one of the best loved Barça players.
One of the enduring images of the celebrations following the 2009 triple - Copa del Rey, Spanish League and Champions League - was that of Messi obviously quite drunk while on an open top bus driving through the city. Who wouldn't have done so in his position? premier league football tickets
Tickets for matches at the Nou Camp are available from the stadium box office, the FC Barcelona website and as Barça shops located in the city centre. They are also available from branches of La Caixa that have ServiCaixa machines installed. However, these tickets are often not seated together.
Top matches like Barcelona versus real Madrid sell out quickly and very few tickets are available for the general public. However tickets are available on the internet from the websites of official ticket agents.
The BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast phone-in on Tuesday, 9th of February asked the question "does the Premier League need a club to go bust to teach it a lesson?" The consensus was that it would be a very sad day if this happened but there have been serious deficiencies in UK football for some time now and there were undoubtedly lessons to be learnt. There are clouds hanging over several Football League clubs at present including Portsmouth, Cardiff City, Crystal Palace and my local side Notts County, and it will be a surprise if there is not a victim during 2010. I have supported the Magpies since 1968 when I used to go down to Meadow Lane with my Grandfather and Uncle, and like so many supporters up and down the country would hate to see clubs with such history be lost forever. football tickets liverpool
 Alan Sugar, the entrepreneur, well-known media personality and former owner and benefactor of Tottenham Hotspurs FC said at the start of the phone-in that too many football clubs have been irresponsible over the way they have been running their finances. It was inexcusable that some clubs were spending up to 90% of their income on salaries.
What has exacerbated the situation over the last ten years has been that the teams at the top have expanded out of proportion to those below. In the Premier League at present there is an elite "big 4" of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool and the teams below are desperately trying to hang on to their "coat tails". This has had a knock-on effect throughout all the other Divisions of the Football League and even out into the grass roots of park football. cheap football tickets
As one gentleman commented on the phone-in, "if you had someone on your road who earned over £100k more than you did, you shouldn't be trying to keep up with them." Yet even though clubs outside the "big 4" hadn't got the revenue or resources this is exactly what they were trying to do. Manchester United are reputedly paying Wayne Rooney £90k a week, Notts County are paying £15k a week to keep their goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and even some park football teams are paying their players £500 - £1,000 with the pretensions of beginning to climb up the football hierarchy. Sport is now so inbound with the quest for success that a lot of the innocent enjoyment has been lost forever.
The funding at the highest level has been by one or two very rich, mainly foreign, benefactors and media coverage but underneath there is a sticky cauldron of debt and of course ticket prices are now largely out of synch with other entertainment. As with other sectors of business, during this period of recession, a correction is now overdue. The cracks are beginning to appear and can't be covered up any more. premier league tickets prices
So how has the situation got so bad? Well, part of the problem is that football is still seen by the Government and the Football Association, the body that regulates football in the UK, as sport. Unfortunately, for the last twenty years, the Premier League football clubs should have been treated less as sport clubs and more as big corporations. The regulation surrounding these organisations should have evolved proportionate to their increasing size and complexity. During this time though, there has been a feeling that football has elements that transcend normal business, the people in charge have been slow to acknowledge that rules set in other areas of business should now be applied to themselves.
The other problem of course is that several of the big investors in the top football clubs are not true football men. Unlike directors of old who cared about the state of the game and the effect this was having on the local community, the new owners care more about investment potential, multi-national branding, players as assets on a balance sheet rather than individuals and the effect on their own individual ego. premier league tickets prices
Big money has also resulted in the influx of foreign players, which has had a detrimental effect on home grown talent. Boys who go to their local club academy are rarely given the chance to progress through the ranks to the top, as there is a lack of opportunities. The English Premier League has become a showcase for the top footballers of the World and this in turn is not helping the national game and may eventually harm the national team if it has not already done so. spanish la liga football tickets
