Fermin: I never planned to leave. I have been from Barcelona all my life, and I have been from childhood.

Hupu September 24th Fermin Lopez is one of the well-known players in Barcelona. Although he is not the absolute main player, as long as he steps on the court, he will always have the ability to change the game and play an important role at critical moments. In an interview with RAC1 radio Elmón, he looked back on his years at Barcelona and opened his heart to tell his childhood and his concerns.

Lamacia Years

"Barcelona was interested in me when I was 11, but my father refused because I was too young. Two years later, the club called again and said that it was the last chance. It was then that we thought about it seriously. The first day in Lamacia was the worst day of my life, the first time I left home, and I cried so hard. I had to stay away from my family and friends, which made it a little difficult for me to adapt. Of course, looking back, it should have been my happiest day, but I was still young and the first time I left home, and I cried so hard. However, the teammates I met in Lamacia helped me. They had all cried before, and we formed a small group with Xavi Simmons and other boys.

Learning Catalan

When Fermin arrived in Lamacia, he knew he had to learn Catalan: "I learned it because if I didn't, I couldn't understand anything. The first year they helped me a little, they didn't evaluate my subject scores, and taught me small classes, mostly in Catalan. It was very easy for me to learn, I learned very quickly. I really like to practice. Some players on my team speak Catalan, listen to them and try to get along with them Flow has helped me study a lot. "

Fermin has always been a good student. A while ago, he started to pursue a degree in physical education and exercise science. Although he gave up halfway, he planned to start over: "When I went to Linares Sports on loan for 22 years, I interrupted my studies and re-registered after I came back. But at that time I was already in the first team in Barcelona, ​​and I felt very difficult. After returning from training, I felt very tired. I felt that I couldn't sit down and study in the afternoon, but I wanted to start studying again ".

Family, the fundamental pillar

As a Barcelona player means exposure, which is often accompanied by a very specific way of life. However, Fair made it clear that he always remembered where he came from and who he was before joining the club. In fact, he explained that his parents kept him down to earth: "My family always reminded me that I was just a regular boy. My father was a postman at the post office, and my mother worked for a fruit company, but I convinced her to quit her job, but my father didn't. "He also explained that he had a very good relationship with the whole family: "They were very important to me, and I was raised by them. Every time I entered the court, I would cross my grandmother. "

Stress and Rumors

In this interview, Ferming also denied the rumors about his disagreement with his locker room teammate Garvey: "We are always, I We met since we were 13, and there was no problem. He was one of my best friends in the locker room, and Pedri, Valde, Eric… There were some statements, but like in Ter Stegen and Szczesny, no one knew what was going on inside. If you were a football player, you had to know that you always have to face stress, psychologically, you had to be prepared for it. Today they said you were the best, tomorrow they said you were the worst. We were ready, we were mature and smart. I have a personal coach who went to see him when I needed it, and I usually see him once every two weeks or call him. "

Leave Barcelona? Don't even think about it

"I never thought about it, I never intended to leave, and I don't think the club wants to sell me. I've been a Barcelona native all my life, and I've been a child. It all comes from one of my mother's uncles, Miri, who has always been a Barcelona fan. But I did receive the offer, yes, but I don't come from Real Madrid. "
