Barella: “I never gave weight to the cost of my price tag, but for many players it is a problem”

“I arrived from Cagliari with an important rating, I was the highest paid in the history of Inter before Lukaku’s arrival. Expectations had been created, but I chose that project because it was the best team, I was calm, I was just happy “. Talk like this Nicolò Barellamidfielder ofInterto the canal YouTube Of Matteo Caccia.

The midfielder explored a very important topic, namely how much a player influences his evaluation on the market: “I was leaving home, friends and relatives, but I was happy to take a further step. I never gave weight to this thing, but for many it can be a problem. At 27, I have fulfilled myself in life, but I hope to win again. It doesn’t change anything about my worth, I play well or badly regardless of the card it gives people an excuse to criticize you more. They say ‘you’re stealing money’, ‘you cost more than a house’…”.

What details don’t fans of your work understand?
“There are many things that the fan cannot know. It’s not that someone enters the pitch to do badly, that’s not the case. Maybe you had a problem during the week, of a physical nature, but also something else. The fact is that the fan says that you have to do well or win a match because you’re worth 100 million, but then you play tennis: football is a team sport, so do we, but there are situations you can’t control , but I don’t accept the fact that family and private life are mixed up because you don’t know what a person is going through. It’s something that bothers me, especially if I see it on social media because it stays there, not like we are at the bar humans, it is different if the criticism comes to the man and not to the player”.
