I want to succeed at Barcelona, after many years of effort, both from me and my family, now I see the first team a little closer, I want to fight to make it happen.

At Barça I would play in any position, I would not care. It is clear that better if I can also play central, it always helps, and versatility is good for the player. It has been good to have this option because I have also improved defensive aspects that I lacked.
