It is not the first player Barca still in the grassroots receive any interesting offer from abroad and decided to emigrate. But if a march surprised in recent years, that was to Dani Olmo. International sub'16 at the time, sub'17 and now, was a fixture in the junior team and everyone was excited with a youthful B which would be playing this season with the Cucurella, Alena, Morer, Pérez, etc. But at the end of last season decided to go and sign for Dinamo Zagreb.
. Are you happy how are things going for Croatia?
Yes, I am very happy. The comrades have helped me in everything and I'm very happy. I'm in a flat field 10 minutes from where I live with my mother. This opportunity is a great experience for all my people, but especially for my mother and me. "
- To all who follow the football at Barca your march was a big surprise ...
For you and me. But Dinamo made me a sports club proposal and quite another ... With the train and I Dinamo minutes with the first team. That allows me to mature and grow more, because I learn every day. "
-?Una Decision would guess not taken from one day to another, no?
It was the hardest and most difficult decision I've ever had. It was very thoughtful and very spoken
- Miquel, your father knows the world of football. What role did it in your final decision?
It was very important. Is who else had and shared information. He is a coach and a football man, but above all is my father. He knew it all and before joining he traveled and met with them a bunch of times. I knew I was in Zagreb, but did not know it was there for me. Then we talked a lot, for a long time. Were also very important family, my brother, my mother, my godfather, personal friends, people of Stellar Group who are my representatives ..
- Where there are more differences between Barcelona and Zagreb or between Barca and Dynamo?
Zagreb is a very nice and quiet, ideal for city living. There are so many people in Barcelona, ??but the land is land and at home, anywhere. Barça and Dinamo are similar clubs at sports. Barca is "top" in the Spanish league and Dinamo in Croatian. Not the same level of quality, but here is very physical teams also put you in trouble
- And the language issue as you take it? How can I say in Dutch "I am very happy at Dinamo"?
It is a very difficult language to learn. Domino basic words and gradually know a little more. "Ja sam sretan vrlo Dinamo"
- His first months were not easy. Is it true that the club will put many problems to be international transfer?
It was very difficult and hard, but the important thing is that everything is fixed and I can officially play
- If you had stayed at Barca presumably you'd be in the juvenile B. There you have your former teammates. Still today the team?
Yes Y. The proposal was that Barca were playing in youth B. Whenever I try them on Barça TV
- Do you keep in touch with some of your former teammates?
Yes, I have kept in touch with many of them and also we feel the sub'17 selection. We always talk about the team today and how it goes around here. One day I made a surprise visit to La Masia and were speechless ...
- You have not turned 17 and have already debuted in the First Division with Dinamo. I do not know in Croatia, but here that's not quite normal ...
I am very happy with what I'm living. It is a golden opportunity that not everyone can have and am clear I should take it. Playing in the National Youth League to do on a championship team in Croatia, playing the Champions League and Europa League if not, it is a brutal jump, both quantitative and qualitative. I have to trebajar lot and learn in each workout to give my best every minute to play with them.
- If you have not seen wrong, you go prominent leaders in the Croatian League. How about the team's season?
Very good. The team is very strong! We really want to achieve great things
- You just champions, going to the Champions ... and I played the club ...
It would be a dream to play against Barca. But before we will work hard to be able to have a place in the next Champions
- Rakitic at Barca and Modric in Madrid. What's more in Croatia, Catalans or Real Madrid?
I think there's Catalans that Real Madrid, but you never know ...
- Get wet a little. Which of the two is better?
Both are very good, stars in the Croatian national team, but for my Modric is a bit more complete than Rakitic
- Just because. Do you see yourself someday returning to Barça?
Why not? I would love to play again in the club where I grew up and I've grown as a person and player. It is a dream, but first I have to work hard and with humility to deserve not only that, but before they hold in the Dinamo. Then time will tell ...
