During the last days have paraded in front of the micros crowd of people, that have supported or beaten to Gerard Hammered to equal parts. After some days of maximum tension in the concentration, the player of the FC Barcelona has decided to answer by himself same, with a very clear speech and opened to all the questions that have posed . 

"I want to solve this problem, as if we are an hour and average here. The first day of training was difficult. It does not like you that the people that supports and encourages was in your against. Receive insults is not of the like of anybody. It is a challenge for me and think that can give the turn to this. I think that by means of the dialogue can understand all what express. By means of the respect and the coherence all can arrive to good port. The míster and the mates have decided that it was here. I will try to help all what can inside the terrain of game. Have near the aim to classify us for the World-wide and have to centre us in this", has been his message to start with.

Afterwards it has continued with one of the subjects that has generated debate in the last days, his commitment with the selection: "it Is impossible to put in doubt my commitment. I carry many here and consider this a family. It is one of the big reasons by which am here. It hurts me that it have doubted of my commitment. I am very proud to be in the Spanish selection. I insist, the message is that it do not doubt of my commitment because I am very proud to be here". 

"It can not doubt of my commitment, am proud to be here"

"An independentista could play in the Spanish selection. An independentista is not against of Spain. There are a lot of Catalans that want to have his own country, only this. I do not consider to be in first line of militancia. There are people that advises me that it do not speak of politics. I the councils listen them. I think that neither I have wetted me, never I have positioned me in any edict", has underlined.

Besides, also it has valued his thrilled reaction the day 1 October in the mixed zone of the Camp Nou, where referred to the political situation of Catalonia, explaining that "no me arrepiento because it is what seat. We are in a world and are people. It is impossible that all think equal. I am in favour that the people can vote yes or no, or in white. Also respect to the people that think that we can not vote the Catalans, as it has said Rafa Nadal. By means of the respect and the dialogue can understand us alls".

Questioned on the mix between politics and sport that always tries avoid, Hammered has defended his right to think like any person: "we Are players, but in front of all are people. I understand to the footballers that do not want to speak of politics, because it is a brown. I understand this posture, say it to you I. Also I want that they are understanding with me. We are people before footballers. Have personal and familiar problems also".

"It is difficult to transmit what is happening in Catalonia if you are not there"

On if it is in favour of the independence of Catalonia, the Barcelona has not wanted to wet. "It is the question of the million and do not go it to answer. I can not decant me on the one hand or by another. The footballers are global image. My children are Colombian, Lebaneses, Spaniards and Catalans. We are global people. There is a problem in Spain that goes to more. The dialogue can with everything", has answered.

"The social networks are colder. The people interprets it of a lot of ways. It is difficult to transmit what is happening in Catalonia if you are not there. I have seen things very distinct of what has been able to perceive in the television. Comment the things is well, are in a point in which it is radicalizando everything. Catalonia is now like the son of 18 years that wants to go home. The Government has two options: Or seat with the son and have a conversation or not to do it and that the son go ", has explained on his recent messages in Twitter.

"The Sunday tried do a referendum and could not carry out to the one hundred by one hundred. There are ones that am convinced that want the independence, there are others that think that it is necessary to do elections and others that do not want to neither that the Catalans vote. I have not valued what is what want right now, my opinion does not explain", has sentenced.

A problem of changing room

On his relation with the rest of the changing room Hammered has been frank: "I Can understand that they are tired of this situation. Therefore I have gone out here. I prefer to go out and answer. The of Sergio Bouquets is all a lie, carry us phenomenal. Besides, we will be partners in a business that posed him. Already it is well of the of the relation. It is phenomenal my relation with Bouquets".

"There was not any message with Lopetegui. We embrace us and we did not do at all distinct to other occasions. It is truth that have been speaking and in contact by all what has happened. What more has hurt me, my mates. They find the situation when it would not have to be like this. Personally, any has showed me unrest. By them I seat me uncomfortable, because me pitan and to them affects them. Only I want that the people value if it is better to support to the selection or pitarme to me", has recognised with regard to his stay in the concentration.

Finally, it has gone back to value his withdrawal of the selection, ensuring that his intention is to continue and that poses do it more alla of the next World-wide: "I Am convinced that there are a lot of people in Spain in favour that the Catalans can vote. My withdrawal is a thing aside. The opinion of the people is very diverse and each one can think what him of wins it. I think that with dialogue can arrive to good port. Also I have posed me continue after Russia 2018. Want to go me of the best possible way and no by the rear door. This team and the Federation are as of my family. I want to continue by all they. I know that there are people that goes me to whistle, but want to give the turn to the situation".
