In spite of that with the pre-season 2018 that is contesting with the FC Barcelona is winning the praises of the barcelonismo, and also of legends of other clubs like the AC Milan, Riqui Puig keeps the feet in the floor, something complicated to his 18 years, and knows that the key to triumph in the Barcelona is to do it from the humility and the constant work.

"Sometimes the halagos have to shelve and centre me in the day in day out. I am very happy, but now touches to go back to the B, that is my team", valued in the mixed zone of Levi's Stadium, just after the defeat suffered in the injury time against the AC Milan.

"With 18 years that have, is something that still remains me very far, equalise to Iniesta is impossible"

It recognised that there was exchange of T-shirts with Daniele Massaro, a legend of the AC Milan that asked him the elastic just after the party. Massaro, remember, marked two goals to the FC Barcelona in the fateful final of Champions League of 1994, that the Barça lost by 4-0 in Athens. "I have gone to look for a T-shirt that had in the bus and have done an exchange of T-shirts. I already knew a bit who was, have done us some photos, was Massaro, that marked us two goals in the 94, my father had spoken me a bit of him".

"It has said me that it had liked him a lot as it had played and if it could change me the T-shirt with him", resumió Riqui Puig, that centres in improving day in day out with the FC Barcelona to have opportunities, in the future, in the first Barcelona team. 

It escapes of the comparisons with Andrés Iniesta, something that to day of today does not help him at all. "With 18 years that have, is something that still remains me very far, but equalise to Iniesta is impossible". It is loved with the experience that has won with the first team in turns it North American, and expects that Ernesto Valverde go back to call him in the future. 

Riqui Puig centres in the Barça B

"If it goes back me to call or no, I have to be ready. My team is the B and will do it the best possible to try go up to the team to Second". Finally, ensalzó the quality of one of the new signings of the FC Barcelona, Arthur Melo, the one who by moments confused with Xavi Hernández during the meeting against the AC Milan, so much by his movements as by the impossibility to remove him the balloon. "Every time they come more players and all with an impressive talent. To Arthur had not seen it play and has surprised us to all, has a style Barça 100%".

Riqui Puig, in definite, has still a lot that learn in the FC Barcelona, but has of the necessary conditions to triumph on a long-term basis in a Barça that will trust he for the Barça B this next season 2018-19... And the one who comes, already will see.
