In an extensive interview conceded to 'MD', Ivan Rakitic has spoken on multiple subjects related with the actuality of the FC Barcelona, between them the course of Neymar Jr to Paris Saint-Germain, something that hurt to the Barça but of what the team has known to recover to follow adding good results in all the competitions.
"Sincerely, I prefer that it was Ney. If had a magic wand and could have it to my side, would do it. Once it has gone , that open a lot of spaces to Jordi or Andrés, is normal, but sure that to Jordi also would like him find the pass when Ney was opened. When there is a so important change, it is necessary to joint more. We have spoken a lot of Ney, but no longer is and are doing it very well. Wish him the best".
"Ojalá Never see to Neymar Jr dressed of white, but never knows "
And it leaves clear that Neymar Jr never will find in another team what had in the FC Barcelona. "What gives you the Barça there is not it in any another club or city. I to Neymar also miss it, no only inside the field but also in the changing room. To me also it happened me".
"When I left me of Germany to Seville missed to all, and afterwards when I came of the Seville, the first year wanted to go each two by three to Seville, but afterwards go taking the rhythm and knowing to other mates. The strength of the team are the values that there is in the changing room, we also miss him. That arrepienta or no, is something that has to say he, but if playing sad is playing like this, go when it was happy... So so badly surely that it is not", it explains the Croatian midfield player.
They can Rakitic and Neymar play in the Madrid?
Rakitic Does not see to Neymar Jr playing in the Real Madrid, at least to day of today. "For our fans when a player goes speaks a lot of how has been, what has done... For me it has been a pleasure and a pride share changing room. Ojalá Never see it of white, but in the football also is necessary to say that it does not know never what can happen. If a change in Paris can open the door of exit, to him wish him the best and ojalá can be again with the changing room, although to day of today do not see it of white".
What has very clear Rakitic is that, at least he, never fichará by the Real Madrid. "I think that I played a party of white in Santiago Bernabéu, but was by a cause solidaria, Champions for Africa and did not carry the shield of the Real. With all the respect to the Madrid, that is one of the biggest team of the world, if I have to go back to dress of white would be dressing the T-shirt of the Seville".
