Are you surprised by this year's Paris Saint-Germain? "No, because I found them full of confidence from the first day. This team is also very tactical and has many excellent players. Now they are a real team. I always say that players can win games, but teams can win championships. ”

How do you evaluate Luis Enrique
"I like him very much and know him very much. He is a good person and is very good in tactical terms. He deserves this championship, especially for Paris Saint-Germain. After years of hard work, it has finally paid off. This is also a good thing for football, because Real Madrid has won the Champions League for many years, and now it has a strong team like this is good for European football."

If you choose a Golden Ball winner between Yamal, Dembele, Mbappe and Pedri, who would you choose?" I would choose Yamal or Dembele. "
Do you still remember your time in Barcelona? "That was the first time I left my hometown and entered another culture. Later I went to a lot of places, but Barcelona was the first. Barcelona helped me grow and achieve today The time was very good, but unfortunately we didn't win too many championships. We had a lot of star players: Rivaldo, Figo, Cruivet... but we only won one league title, which is too few for a lineup like us, but I'm still proud to be able to play for five seasons in Barcelona. "
How do you and your brother Ronald?" We are still very close, he is my brother and my best friend."
Who is the good kid in the family? 4} "We are twins, almost exactly the same."
Figo's departure had a great impact on the team
"He was a great player at that time, just like Kvaratsglia, fast, able to shoot with both left and right feet, and assist with goals. Figo has these qualities, and he himself is also very good."
Who is the best player you have ever seen?

What about the players in your country?" Before Cruyff or Van Basten got injured, they were two players I really like. "
What do you think about the future of the Dutch national team? "I think it's very good, this is a rising national team. There are many good players, both talented and experienced." "
What do you think of Wysen
" He is very good, but he is still young, I He had played with his father at the Ajax youth training camp. He still needed to be stronger, but he was still young. Joining Real Madrid was a good opportunity for him, but at his age, he had to have enough time to play. If he couldn't play often, it was a danger for him. "
" He needed to play at least 30 games at a high level, which was up to him, but it was a risk for me. Real Madrid needed to win the championship, and like Barcelona, they would use more experienced players to achieve this. He had very What a great point, let's see how he performed at Real Madrid. "
Do you think this Barcelona can create an era
"I think it's OK, why not? They have a lot of young players, except for the older Lewandowski, everyone else has a great future." "
Who is your favorite defender player? "I like Kubasi very much, he is very good. His style is very similar to me, he jumps very high and his feet are also very skilled. I like him very much when organizing offense from the backcourt."
