In an interview with Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo, AC Milan player Ronaldinho talked about his new club and his time in Barcelona.How are you these days?
Very good. Things are different than in Barcelona, it's a little colder, Milan has no beaches, but the people are very pleasant and this makes me not missing Barcelona too much. What I like the most is learning another language, I like Italian.
You're missing us?
I miss some of you... I'm not in Barcelona anymore but it's as if I am. People are sending me a lot of messages, they're treating me very well. I want Barcelona to win everything this season because I have my friends there. And also because Milan doesn't take part in the same competitions. I would be delighted if Barcelona could win the Liga and the Champions League this season because of all my friends and the people that like me.
What a goal you scored in the derby against Inter!
I know a lot of people were happy for that, also in Barcelona. One of the things I miss the most is playing in the Camp Nou, the fans have always treated me extremely well.
It's not a pity that you weren't able to say goodbye to the fans in the Camp Nou?
I don't like saying goodbye, I never did. It's something sad, I didn't even say goodbye to my team-mates. I keep on calling them and sending them messages. Essentially I don't feel the need to say goodbye to Barcelona because it will always be my home.
What do you think about Guardiola?
I don't kow him very well but the few times I have spoken with him, he seemed a great person. I admire him for everything he has achieved as a player. And he has always acted very sincere when he talked with me... It's perfect to see Barcelona winning, to see how my friends are happy, although the truth is we don't chat a lot about football when we're talking. You know I don't really like to watch entire football games, I just watch the summaries. I like to see the best moments, I don't hold on for ninety minutes. Just give me the goals!
This is the first part of this interview. The other parts will follow in the coming days.
