Jean-Clair Todibo: "I signed for Barcelona because Barça is my favourite club! I went there thinking I can win, and above all, it's a dream to play for Barça: the best club in the world." [onze mondial]

Todibo: "The dressing room spoke to me. The players were trying to talk to me, to find out how my adaptation was going, if I needed anything… At first, the language barrier blocked me. Later it was fine. The French guys helped me a lot."

Todibp: "I arrived at training, seeing someone like Busquets who didn't not lose any ball in the training session. I arrived and made like four, five, six mistakes. It made me question myself."

Todibo: "I said to myself: 'Why am I losing the ball and not him?', and I watched what he was doing, what other players were doing. I observed the movements in training, the way others were doing and I tried to adapt."

Todibo: "Specifically one player supported me well: Gerard Piqué. Especially during my first game at the Camp Nou, against Sevilla. I was with him, it was fluid. I have a very good relationship with him on the pitch. He's a simple guy, a quiet guy."

Todibo: "When I was little, I watched Barça a lot. Having fun, circulating the ball from left to right, moving well, that has always been my thing."

Todibo: "For me, this season, I deserved more playing time. The first six months, when I arrived, I didn't mind not playing because in training, I saw that I didn't have the required level. But this year, I would have deserved to play more."

Todibo: "If I were the coach, I also would have preferred Piqué to me. He's a great player. But I think I could have played some games."

Todibo: "Staying at Barça depends on many things: talks with the coach, with the board... But staying in Barcelona to play three games in six months is not interesting. I am only 20 years old, I need to play and gain experience."
