"If I chose this challenge it is because I felt it could be this way but I didn’t come here just to play well, I came here to win trophies.
"Sometimes in the last three or four years with the national team and Barcelona I was playing like nearly no.9 and I have to do it for the team and I enjoy and it is all good, but here where I am playing is where I enjoy it the most.
