The same Nolito has recognised it in a recent interview conceded to "The Guardian", admitting besides that was about to to return to the FC Barcelona before fichar by the Manchester City, although at the end it did not finish giving the pass. "I was near of the Barça, but at the end chose the City", has confessed the current extreme of the group "citizen", to the orders of Pep Guardiola.
Nolito Speaks of the importance of Luis Enrique in his career futbolística: "it did Me see that it was findamental that it lost weight, 10 kilos, to step forward", signals, standing out the insistence of Luis Enrique that from the beginning it saw potential in Nolito.
"Luis Enrique went a bit heavy, but for my well. I did a change importantísimo"

And it is that the one of Sanlúcar de Barrameda was used to to have bad habits. "It liked me train, afterwards eat... Train, eat, train, eat. It was a fish that bites the tail. Then you darse: a player of elite has to be fine", explains, although luckily it attained to change the situation. "The three last years have been the best of my life, but was the moment to go me, the correct moment, because it would like me win something before it finish my career and think that in the City can attain it".
