DBasia.news – Barcelona long-haired legend, Carles Puyol, admitted that Barcelona’s arch-rival, Real Madrid, had wanted to bring him twice. Puyol, of course, refused the offer.
During his career, Carles Puyol only played for Barcelona. The 41-year-old scored 19 goals plus 13 assists in 593 matches.
In the course of Carles Puyol as a professional footballer, several clubs are bidding. Understandably, Puyol is known as one of the best defenders in the world.
Apparently, one of the clubs interested was Real Madrid. Los Blancos want to bring Puyol with Ronaldinho. However, El Real must bite the finger.
“They (Real Madrid) tried to buy me twice, but I’ve been in the best team in the world. The first time was when the season came after the arrival of Luis Figo,” explained Puyol as proclaimed by Calciomercato.
The player who came to Indonesia a few months ago continued. “Then, I want to win the title with Barcelona. So, I say no,” continued the legend.
“Real Madrid appointed Jose Anton Camacho as a coach. He wanted to take me and Ronaldinho to Real Madrid,” he stressed.
The decision of Carles Puyol to stay paid off. Puyol won many titles and left with the legend status.
“In addition to the 2010 World Cup which was won with the national team, the title that I remember the most was the champion won in Paris in 2006. Because, when I won with Barcelona, I felt more,” said Puyol.
