In spite of his big influence inside the game of the Barça the past campaign and this, Rakitic does not think that it have changed the game of the team blaugrana. "That we are different players, probably, think that is what there is. But say that it has changed the style... And in the football, the contrary team conditions you a bit. If they give you spaces, try to take advantage of it. I work for this, to see the weak points of the contrary. If tomorrow I seat me in the sofa probably will not arrive my moment. Therefore I want to give what can give I. I can not give the of Andrés or what has given Xavi, but want to give the mine. I want to be Ivan Rakitic. Improve if I can a bit to the team, perfect, for this am, for this work", commented.

I give you, but give me you also".

And one says "as if, but is Barça". And it begins to understand where is. As yes. And already you know until which point can arrive this club to have to go to more. It is not only train and already is. No. It is necessary to do more. I go me to remain an hour but in the gymnasium, go me to go to treat. I go to go to do two bathrooms to recover you well. You have to do it all much better that before. Now I do much more of when it was in Germany or Seville. Always I want to be in the field".

No only to the three that had at the side, but to all the stadium, wanted to open the arms and take to all. I thought in my woman, my girl my family, all here. And you see to your mates… is me putting the skin of hen. Here you say buff. That guay… are… all the world sees this party. You are here to help to your team", concluded.
