I think your time is over in Mallorca and now you must go fight with those who are at your level. ”I looked at him and said“ What is this grandfather saying? ”And he picked up his phone, called Txiki (Begiristain) and said:“ Do you want to win in the next few years? player that you have to sign because he will win you. ”When he heard my name there was a void and Txiki was wondering:“ But this guy smokes something? ”But Jan did not let the grandfather's advice pass, he knew a lot, and I am happy".

La reunión entre Laporta y Florentino Pérez: "Fue una reunión muy dura, con amenazas de aquí y de allá, pero al final Jan insistió tanto cuando me reuní con Butragueño en Mallorca y le dije que me voy al Barça y solo jugaré allí aunque me tenga que esperar un año más. Florentino vio que solo había una opción y negoció. Y fui al Barça y feliz".Su paso por el Mallorca: "A mí el que me ayudó a escribir la historia del Barça es el Mallorca y le estaré eternamente agradecido y a Mateo Alemany que apostó por mí y luchó por mí, Fernando Vázquez, Luis Aragonés...".El mejor 9 de la historia del Barcelona: "Es un gran honor, viendo todos los nombres importantes que han pasado por el club, como Ronaldo (Nazario), el Fenómeno, que para mí es el mejor jugador de todos los tiempos junto a Messi".

Praise for Xavi, Iniesta and Valdés: "Xavi is the fucking master not only in Qatar and in Spain, but also worldwide." "If I see him training Barça in the future? If he doesn't, I will kill him"; "In one of my first interviews in Barcelona they asked me who is the best player with whom you are training and expected Ronaldinho or Messi and I said Iniesta. The future has proved me right because they have not recognized them at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi or Zidane but Iniesta or Xavi are at their level "; "I always say in my interviews that the press has been very unfair to my brother Víctor Valdés. Because he was the best player in Barcelona every season. He saved every season five or six goals in games that were important." His relationship with Barcelona : "I watch all the games of Barça, and it is obvious that I will return, it will be tomorrow or the day after but I will return to Barça. How, I do not know" The unfortunate episode in La Romareda: "It was a sad moment but I also thank the club because he got on my side, my teammates immediately too. But it was sad because many times we go to the fields with our children and they often keep what you do and then repeat it. And maybe many of them repeat what their parents did without knowing what they were doing. The hard part is that many years later this still exists. But I ask you on your knees to help us so that football, in the stands as in the field, today is cleaner with more education, where the best wins and the loser shakes hands and another match. Yellow, black, white ... we are all the same. Sometimes there is a contrast, that they yell at you and they make you scream of a monkey and then they ask you for autographs and they take your picture with you .

His future: "I am in Qatar, I am one of the World Cup ambassadors, like Xavi ... Yes I am in Qatar with him. I now want to rest and enjoy my wife but then I want to be the first color coach to win a Champions League League and make their teams play as Guardiola makes their team play. I've already done it in a Turkish First Division team, but now, rest and then we'll see. "The Ansu Fati phenomenon:" What is coming to us with Fati I think that even God does not know it. He is very good, he does not have one, he has two pairs, that kid has a lot of personality. I wish him the best and, above all, that he does not know the injuries that can be done for his career. "
