Barcelona wanted me to play for their B team. But I wanted to stay and win the Copa Libertadores and after that I didn't want to go down to a B team.

The Copa del Rey is a different competition. It is football in its purest form and is different from the continuity of the league.

Michael Laudrup

In the World Cup finals, you're unlikely to meet a continental rival. In Copa America, you know they are just around the corner and that you will have to beat them to win the competition.

Diego Forlan

It's very good for a 22-year-old player to feature in a Copa America.

Fred
