Inspiring quotes by Víctor Valdés

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Víctor Valdés

  • I’m passionate about windsurfing: two hours on the water is like a week’s holiday, complete disconnection. You see the land a long way off and nobody and nothing can bother you apart from the occasional fish swimming past.
  • Barca has given me everything and I owe them everything, but being a goalkeeper here takes it out of you.
  • In Barcelona some very big media outlets focused on selling the idea to people that I had done a bad thing by warning the club I was not going to renew. For me it was an act of honesty and appreciation. And the fans understood, so I can only have words of appreciation for the spectacular way they have treated me, for their shows of support.
  • You need to be brave and confident when you play at the Bernabeu. We have learned how that is the best approach if you want to get a positive result there.
  • I don’t have any problem with Louis van Gaal. He discovered me when I was 20 years old. He was the only coach who, in that moment, said: ‘I want you in the first team.’
  • Always in my career, I have played to help my team-mates, to help my coach and to help everybody. I am a part of the team.
  • I don’t have any bad words for Van Gaal or Manchester United. They helped me through my injury and the manager gave me my chance as a footballer at Barcelona and then again at United. He’s like a father figure to me.
  • I had two options: stay in Manchester but not play or go to Standard… to enjoy my football, the fans and, above all, to get back to feeling like a footballer and to be able to train every day. I went for the second option.
  • Mentally it can be exhausting when you are not physically involved, because you still have to stay completely focused.
  • The day when I left Barca, because of the treatment I was receiving and my character, it didn’t go as I would have wished. I drifted and then just left, I’m sure people expected much more from me.
