Barcelona s former player: I couldn t touch Messi in training before, which is very troublesome for people who are not his core circle

Former Barcelona youth training, Hefren Suarez played for Portugal Sports from 2011 to 2014, but this highly anticipated journey ended in disgrace due to successive injuries. The former Barcelona player recently talked about his departure on the Spanish podcast Helado Oscuro, pointing directly at the then Barcelona sports director and now outgoing Porto executive Subizareta.

Hefren recalled: "The decision to leave the team was made by Guardiola and I. The conversation was difficult. He told me clearly that if I stayed, I would have no ball to play because the club would sign the replacement Sanchez."

"But Guardiola always treated me with warmth. Later, when he coached Bayern, we met again in Qatar, and he also said to me 'You are the fastest player I have ever brought'."

"Injuries were the main reason for my departure from Barcelona. The club betrayed me, not Guardiola, it was Subi Sareta ruined my career. At that time, Valencia gave a quote, foreign clubs offered 30 million euros, and Spanish teams could pay 5 million euros, but he closed the door to other La Liga teams to me, and I still don’t want to look at him directly. "

After switching to Portugal Sports, Hofferen's career did not turn around: "After leaving Barcelona, I never found my belongings, and I did not regain the fun of playing football in the first season in Thailand."

Hofferen once won three La Liga with the team in Barcelona's golden period and asked When talking about the locker room atmosphere in 2011, he said: "The big guys have been kind to young people from the first day, so that I can understand what a real team is. Alves, Puyol and Xavi are the best for me, and they always comfort me when making mistakes, and say it doesn't matter, it's normal."

"In training, we must not touch Messi, which is very troublesome, because the youth training people are very tough on him. If it is someone in his core circle, you can move a little bigger, if not, then..."

Regarding the recent controversy caused by Barcelona star Yamal's 18th birthday, the senior was tolerant: "The 18-year-old boy is unpredictable to the consequences of the behavior, but as long as someone guides it correctly, Barcelona will handle this matter well."

But Hoffren does not think Yamal is the decisive player: "There are many outstanding players in the Barcelona team, such as Pedri who often talk about. Just like the relationship between Xavi, Iniesta and Messi back then, if it weren't for them, Messi would not be Messi today. Just look at his experience in Paris, you will understand."
