Asked about his contract renewal (read more here), Barcelona player Lionel Messi has said at a press conference in San Francisco that he doesn't want to leave Barcelona:
"For me, there's no problem at all. I never had problems, I never want to go. I have always said that I won't leave this club. I just want to focus on playing football.
I don't want to talk about the Ballon d'Or. I've always said that the group is the most important thing. Last year we were happy to win everything and now we're working to do the same, but in a calm way. We want to repeat what we did last season, we have the same will and motivation.
I think therefore the team should go step by step, like last year, when this worked out fine. We're just starting, so it doesn't make sense thinking about the long term future. We shouldn't think about the treble or the Champions Leauge, both are very difficult.
Ibrahimovic? With him the team will have even more options. I saw him play a lot with Inter but he has surprised me still. He's an impressive quality player, he is tall and strong and has a great shot. Although one shouldn't forget that the performances of Samuel have been spectacular. Eto'o gave everything to Barça, with his motivation and his goal. Let's hope Ibra can match that."
