A Quote by Pedro

I left Barcelona because I was brave. Neymar arrived and I played less. These things happen in football. — © Pedro
I left Barcelona because I was brave. Neymar arrived and I played less. These things happen in football.
I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
I really liked Stoichkov when he played at Barcelona. I played in his position then... more or less! I loved to watch him on matchdays because of the personality he showed team-mates and fans.
I almost missed the chance to join Barcelona because I was on holiday in Mali visiting my parents' family for the first time. We spent all summer there and every day Barcelona were calling my mother's phone and getting no reply because she had left it in Barcelona.
Football can change really quickly; you really are king for a day. Once you get caught up with things and think you've arrived... you've never arrived in football.
Did you used to play for Barcelona? Because that's not Barcelona football.
As a writer who happens to be a woman, I am constantly devalued - even by other writers who happen to be women - simply because of a marketing decision. Am I truly less talented, less audacious, less erudite, less brave than my more quote-unquote literary colleagues?
I do have a son. He's out of school now. He never played football. And it had nothing to do with me. I was actually crushed that he didn't play football. I thought, 'Oh my God, this is awful.' My brothers all played football. My dad played football.
As I get older, I plan less, and I strategize less about my career and about things because you realize things happen as they're supposed to happen and the way they're supposed to happen.
I was pretty much prepared because I was already playing in extremely good ways when I arrived from Europe because I played jazz four or five years before I arrived here.
My dad always played sports. He played football. I always wanted to play football because my dad played football, but my mom never wanted me to play football because she said she couldn't take me getting hit.
I'm not here to substitute Neymar. Barcelona needed a player in my position, and I'm here to help.
Neymar will not return to Barcelona. It was a very difficult situation for him there.
It's not like I played my first football match in England. For me, football is pretty much the same everywhere; the ball is round, but maybe tactically, things are different than at other clubs I've played for.
I left hurt because I think I fought hard to create a great history at Barcelona. I left with 23 titles in eight years.
In football, there are so many great football players like Eden Hazard, Roberto Lewandowski and Neymar.
I still have a thorn in my side at not having played for Real Madrid or Barcelona, because playing there is a dream for every player. But I consider myself very satisfied to have played for the best teams in Italy.
