FC Barcelona The exazulgrana reveals how his signing was for the group cul
TOLex Song is in the news for some surprising statements he has made during an instagram live. The ex-Barça player recounts how his first years at Arsenal were and how people thought he was a young millionaire … although the reality was rather different: “I spent 8 years at Arsenal, but I swear it is for the last four years I can say that I started earning a living well, because the salary had increased considerably. I wasted a lot of money. I was going to have dinner, trips, vacations … During the eight years I couldn’t even save 100,000 pounds in my bank account. I thought I was a millionaire but that was not the reality. I went to the shopping malls, crazy nights, trips from here to there … “
Anecdote with Henry at Arsenal. “I signed my first professional contract and was earning £ 15,000 a week. I was so excited … I was young that I went from earning £ 4,000 to £ 15,000. I came to training and saw Henry arrive with his car, which was a gem. I thought that I needed the same car no matter what it cost. Since you were a footballer you would go to the dealership, sign some papers and they would give you the car. This is how I had the same car as Henry. After two months I understood that the money was going to go and I told them to give me a Toyota. Henry asked me what I did with my car. I said it was a lot for me. “
Advice to young people. “I always say that a 20-year-old driving a Ferrari is poor, because at 20 you haven’t done anything yet … but a 50-year-old man driving a Bentley is a man who must be respected.”
Transfer to Barcelona. “Barcelona was interested in signing me and the sports director of Bara spoke with me. He told me that he wasn’t going to play much. I told him that I didn’t care, I knew that now he was going to be really a millionaire.”
