THE Ivan Rakitic he is no longer competing in Europe, since he has been in Saudi Arabia and wears her jersey Al Shabaab.
Nevertheless, the Croatian lived great moments in the Old Continent, both with Barcelona and with Sevillewhich he referred to in statements he made.
The 36-year-old spoke, among other things, about the period when the coach of the Andalusians was his current Olympiakou, Jose Luis Mendilibarfor whom he has very good memories of the football the team played during that period, however, he emphasized that some situations could have turned out differently.
“With Mendiliber and Diego Alonso we were playing spectacular football, but we couldn’t find a way to score. We felt strong, but we had to put the ball in the net.
Things with my beloved, Medilibar, could have turned out differently. It hurts me that we could have done some things differently, starting with myself. I hope that stability will return to the club so that it can become strong again“, said the Croatian midfielder.
We remind that the Rakitic and Mendiliber they won last season’s Europa League, while the 36-year-old was also in the Spanish lineup in the lost Super Cup final in “Georgios Karaiskakis” against Manchester City.
