La Mancha is a very macho, chauvinistic society. I saw very clearly that my life had to be in Madrid, and I liberated myself from my mum and dad after high school.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I adore Madrid. It's my city. If I ever move, it will only be for work. Whenever I travel, I always want to get back home.
La Masia is a place where lots of people live together but you are on your own.
I'm well into sort of Santiago Calatrava and people like that.
Barcelona is one of my favourite cities in the world. The fashion and people are just so effortlessly cool.
I'd love to be popular in Barcelona. That sounds like a fun job.
I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.
But now that the guerrilla fighting is over, the Spaniards are again men without a country or families or homes or work, though everyone appreciates very much what they did.
Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.
'La Mancha' was a gift from me to me. I never thought for a minute it was going to be a hit.
Like so many of the players, I started at La Masia at the age of 11. I can't ever imagine not playing for Barcelona, let alone not playing soccer for a career. I don't ever want to play anywhere else.
