In an interview with RAC1, Barcelona midfielder Fermin talked about his injuries and some topics of playing for Barcelona.

About the injury you suffered on Sunday

- Yes, there was something wrong with my waist muscles, above my hips, but everything was OK, I needed three weeks of rest.

About the process of signing with Barcelona

- When I was 11 years old, Barcelona was interested in me, but my father refused because I was too young at that time. Two years later, the club called again and told me that it was the last chance.

About family help

- My family always reminds me and tells me that I am an ordinary person. My father was a postman and my mother worked in a fruit company, but I convinced her to quit. My grandparents are very important to me, I was raised by them, and I pray for my grandmother before every time I go on stage.

Guidance on father

—He was a little annoying (laughs), and in football, he never put pressure on me. He always told me that I had to run hard, but I didn't give specific instructions on how to play football. He just emphasized that it takes a lot of effort to play football well.

Transfer rumors about this summer

-I am not close to leaving the team. I received invitations from other clubs but I never thought of leaving and I don't think the club wants to sell me either. I have been a Barcelona fan since I was a child, all of this is because of my mother's uncle, who has always been a Barcelona fan.

About your relationship with Garvey

-We have always been very good, we met at the age of 13, and there is no problem between us. He is one of my best friends in the locker room, including Pedri, Barde, Eric Garcia and others. But there are some things, such as the situation in Ter Stegen.
