“It's okay if there is a problem.”

“I had everything in Barcelona, ​​but you think: it's not like I'm going to a second -class club,” said Figo. 'If it hadn't been Madrid, I might not have gone.
'It is a challenge, a decision based on the feeling of being appreciated, convincing me that I would become an extremely important piece. It could have been a cagada, a dick-up, but it wasn't. '
Figo admitted that he feared that he would be attacked by a 'Gekman'.
“Nowadays there is more protection,” he told The Guardian. 'It felt like I was doing a press conference every day. That takes its toll.
'We started touring, a new idea, there was the rivalry, the pressure, the price.
“The hatred too. Not everyone loves God, how will everyone like me?
'My only concern was if something physically happened, a bit crazy. But are you going to play football? No! In football there is no reason to be afraid. '
