"I see Leo Messi every day in the dressing room. The tweets I published against him is something that has already happened and is settled. It's a seed that I don't want to keep growing", he said in an interview for the newspaper 'Sport'.
In this sense, Junior Firpo wanted to emphasise in his speech and snapped with some tiredness on the subject: "I don't think he even knows about it. I am a boy who comes from a subsidiary, Betis and I do not think Messi is going to even care about this".
However, the former Betis player did praise Pep Guardiola's Barcelona on social networks: "He is the best coach in the world. His Barça was the best and I hope he overcame it, it would mean that we have done very well, but Pep's team it was the best ever "
These are sins of youth that he seemed to commit. Ousmane Dembélé commented on the matter, saying: "In general, the whole team is very close. I had a different image when i first arrived and everyone has welcomed me perfectly."
On his landing at the Camp Nou, Junior Firpo joked: "I got three goals the first day! Barça changes a lot, the players are very good ... the truth is that it's nice to train with them. The pace of the ball marks. If you can play a touch, better one than two. "
Also, Junior Firpo warned: "You never want to be a substitute, you always want to play. I know I have Jordi Alba ahead of me, who is the best left-back in the world. He has been at the top level for many years, he has been in the national team for many years and I know who I have ahead of me. "
"I can't break my head saying 'I don't play, I don't play'. What I want is to catch the tone fast and do it very well. Who knows, I may even start in the first XI one day," he said.
