I couldn't sign for Barca, as I can't play football the way Xavi wants.
I know the pressure of being Barcelona's goalkeeper, but I'm here to play my football and the football Barca want to play. I'm not afraid.
I needed to play football, and if that was for Barca then great, but all I wanted was to play.
It's tough for us to hear that Barca and the national team are boring to watch. Supposedly, we play attractive football, one-touch football, which is what people want to see.
Barca are a great team that play fantastic football.
I'd love to play at Wembley. It's special for Barca - and for everyone in football.
Barca are Barca and I don't think you can say no to them. To play here is to realise a dream.
Players like Messi and Xavi are always hungry. Whatever the game or the competition - even if it is table-tennis - they want to win. We used to play two-touch football games after training and they would always be desperate to win. It taught you about life as well as football.
Qatar is improving a lot in football, my colleague Xavi talks to me about the fantastic development of football here.
Barca play a really clever type of football, close together with everyone at a high level technically.
Really, you just play football; that's all I can do... I don't change. I'm going to always play tough, hard - that's the way I was brought up at Nebraska, where I really learned football from the Pelinis and that staff and continue to play hard, play blue-collar football.
This is football from the 19th century. It's very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play. A football match is about two teams playing. I told Big Sam, they need points. To come here the way they did, is that acceptable? Maybe it is, they need points. The only thing I could bring more was Black & Decker - a Black & Decker to destroy the West Ham wall.
The most important thing for me was talking to players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Javier Mascherano - they would tell me about the life away from football. All I wanted to do was play football but they explained how important everything is away, how you prepare and live your life.
Truth to be told, yes, it does feel very strange to be in the Spain setup without Xavi. Ever since I broke through for Barca and Spain he's always been around. We've always had a great relationship and he's always set an example in every way, when it comes to camaraderie, how much help he's given me and, above all, in footballing terms.
Xavi is one of the best players in the history of football.
You play football to enjoy the game and the manager wants to be happy on the sidelines watching unbelievable football.
I think that every day, more and more people are conscious of what Barca is, that Barca is a global brand, and you can go anywhere in the world and see a child wearing a Barca shirt, and that means a lot: not just that people like Barca but that they also like the colours and even buy the shirt.
