Has clear, for example, that Leo Messi is the best footballer of the world. "It is very intelligent and knows exactly where put the balloon. Sometimes the journalists say that the goalkeepers can do a bit more when they play against Messi, but I see it in each training: it gives the same where you plant you, it goes it to you to kick by the another side. It is intelligent: a lot of other players kick for kicking, or for removing the balloon of on, but he no. He calculates it of a special way: sometimes it plants it to you so soft that seems easy to stop it, but is not it".

And it ensures that it can not compare to Cristiano Ronaldo with Leo Messi, because of the big existent difference between both. "They can not compare. Personally, for me I Read it is the best because it lives the football, understands the football like anybody and this does him different to the other. Cristiano is very good player and has done a lot of effort to become the one who is, but Leo is Leo. I am loved of not having to confront me to Messi in the parties, but Christian is one of the best forwards to which have confronted me".

"It gives the same where you plant you, Messi goes it to you to kick by the another side"

Simultaneously, they ask him what means for a goalkeeper play in the Barça. "In reality, each club has his idea of game. If I played in another team, would not be the same. Buffon, for example, plays in the Juventus, and does it spectacular, but if it was the goalkeeper of another team would be another type of goalkeeper. It depends on the needs of each team: there is a team for each type of goalkeeper", has answered.

It ensures to have a big relation with Jasper Cillessen. "Have a good relation, very professional. I imagine me that it is not an easy situation for him, but gets along it. The respect is very important in the football and he is very respectful. I appreciate it to him because I notice how treats me to me and I procure to do the same with him. If to him it touches him play in the Glass, attempt that was to the one hundred byone hundred , as it does he with me".

And it is very happy of the relation that has with Ernesto Valverde, the trainer. "Very good. The truth is that it is very direct and this likes me to me, because like this it learns a lot. Also it was like this Luis Enrique, that always was very clear with me and has done me better goalkeeper that before. Because it did me understand a distinct game. And I said it to me such cual, in the face, and this is important. This does you better. And now it does it Valverde equal".

It defends, besides, that Gerard Hammered can be chosen captain of the FC Barcelona. "For me, it is clear that has profile of captain. Has a personality that need in the club.And in the team. We know that it does not matter at all who carry really the bracelet. Have to Andrés, that does not do lacking to speak of him, all know how is. But I Hammered it is a leader although it do not carry the bracelet".
