13 August 2008. Ten years ago of this date, and to Gerard Hammered never goes him to forget because it premièred in the first team of the FC Barcelona. After going through the Manchester United and a cession in the Saragossa, the Catalan went back home, and did not make a mistake because it has harvested almost three tens of titles since.
"It was special, played in the Camp Nou the first official party of the season. I began playing a while and leave the eliminatory sentenced. It was very well, I went out very happy of the stadium", has rememorado in an interview for the means of the club on that duel, a clash of the previous of the Champions against the Wisla of Krakow in which the Barcelona group imposed home by 4-0.
Throwing the sight backwards, the Barcelonan recognises that all these successes took him of surprise: "The balance is very, very good, had not expected me never win the won, play all what have played and have the importance that have had during all these years. I seat me a privileged, have enjoyed a lot of and follow enjoying a lot here".
"I know that there will be a day that will have to leave, but until it arrive this day, want to enjoy as the one who more", has sincerado, leaving a justification added to what explained does few days, when it confirmed that it left the Spanish selection to be able to, to his 31 years, centre in enjoying in the Barça.
Questioned on his best memories like culé, Hammered has decanted by a Champions: "The one of Berlin did me a lot of illusion, came of some first months complicated, and win everything, went the second triplete, that means that this batch of players did things that ningun had expected never.
Carles Puyol, key figure for the career of Hammered
To the hour to choose a mate, the answer has been the most expected: "Puyol is the mate that more has marked me, from the first moment received me like a brother, played in the same position so much in the Barça like the selection and understood us very well. In spite of being very different of form to be, connect very well from the first moment".
"Play in the Barça is very sacrificed and of defence even more. We know that the competition always is very big, here are the best of the world and have to struggle by a position. Already they are 10 years, and now every year that avenges will be a year more to enjoy", has reflexionado to finish.
