"I do not decide if already it is my hour"  

The Pibito complaint not to travel themselves and to play much very little in the Selection. Nor fixed one by the injury of Crespo feels one. Sensations of a misunderstood talent...



To title again, Javi sends its unloading in the goal shout.


B ARCELONA (CORRESPONSAL). "the last year was more cold, no", it asks to Javier Saviola European winter in the heat of while it walks by the Gothic District next to Olé. The zone is the oldest nucleus of the city and its historical center. He is not simple to retrace steps the route next to a player of the local club by the same streets of Barcelona. The Catalans idolize it and they greet it with evident surprise. The Madrilenians who are on leave this way admire it and they request autographs to him, although more than one Vista a white t-shirt of the con. The English tourists and Germans who recognize it raise chop and they dedicate a toast to him from the seat of a table of a bar. And the Japanese, to close the circle, remove a photo, and another one, and another one to him...

"the affection Is incredible that they have to me in Japan. And that that I had never gone until she was called on to me to know Tokyo with the Selection, in November of 2002). He is impressive! When I arrived at the airport, there was people with t-shirts with the seven and pósters of Barcelona. Until I read in the newspaper that was a group of boys who strained itself in the gardens of the hotel because he wanted that he signed its little figures to him. I in Japanese little figures ", Saviola is surprised. The subject of the Selection leaves single...

—In the end you remained with the desire to participate in this Preolímpico of Chile?

—The truth is that it had many desire to go. But Barcelona decided that I had left to work with my teammates to leave this difficult situation, and I accepted the decision. But one always wants to be in the Selection, is special: representás to your country and you fulfill one of your dreams.

—You had some contact with Bielsa in this last time?

—I feel that I count on its confidence. And when tenés the endorsement of a technician, tenés that to take advantage of each opportunity that gives you to demonstrate that it can tell on vos, and that it is not mistaken. It knows that it has not been a decision mine. And mainly, the Selection has not wanted to harm to me. That to one gives very many tranquillity him.

—The Spanish press gets angry when viajás thousands of kilometers to play few minutes. And vos how tomás? Really you bancás?

—But the Selection is thus, nobody you can assure nothing because nobody has the gained position. It is necessary to work day to day and to try to take advantage of each call. It is obvious that I would like to always play, I do not discover anything when saying it. But the Argentina Selection has players of very many level and is necessary to know how to hope with calm. Whenever I am in the Selection I feel a privileged person.

—Towns said years ago: "By the Selection I cross the ocean swimming". And vos?

—It said that? Je, je, je, the Monkey is a phenomenon.

—You did not answer...

—Ah, no, I by the Selection travel where she is, but dejame above of the airplane. Swimming I am a disaster. To the Selection never it would say to him that no, it is a privilege. To the players who are in Preolímpico them desire the best thing, are making the things affluent and I am pending of their parties from here. Hopefully that goes to them well, they deserve it... All we felt like the fan number one of the Argentina Selection.

—What opinás of the subject Carlitos Tevez-Seleccio'n-Boca?

—I do not know what happened, in addition does not correspond well that I speak of the subject. It does not seem to me.

—Injured Crespo, arrived your hour against Ecuador?

—To anybody it likes to enter by the injury of a companion. It is a done, but true phrase. Hopefully which Hernán recovers as rapidly as possible of the injury, he is an important player and the Selection needs it. Later, I do not decide if already it is my hour. That is a question for the trainer. It knows how we are all and it decides what creates better.

—You put yourself to dream about the World-wide one of Germany 2006?

—Je, every day.

—Saviola or Tevez?

—That one I do not enter. Tevez is a very good player, I do not discover anything when saying it. Here usually they pass many parties of Argentine soccer through television.

—You follow very tie with the Argentine reality?

—Always. It is impossible to disconnect to me because I have there to part of my family. Here in Barcelona, for example, I had chance to go to see work ART, with Ricardo Darín, Germa'n Palaces and Oscar Martinez. Here it has pleased much, they are actors of forward edge, they transmit much.

—And you always follow River...

—I underwent more by the triumph of Mouth against the Milan in the Intercontinental one that by badly which it went to him to River in the South American Glass. Equal, I hope that in the 2004 it goes to him better...

—In Barcelona also hacés another things. You participated in a campaign of the Catalan Foundation Syndrome of Down. What experience left you?

—Ever since I arrived at Barcelona I am connected with the Foundation. With the boys and young people already we saw several times, we like much. Attempt to help with my image. I believe that all we have the same options of being happy. Also such right and the same possibilities of integrating to us. And if from my place I can help, I will always do it. Before Year End, I met with a group of young people of my age, and before dismissing to us, one of them requested the word and in name of all it requested to me that it dedicated a goal to them. They are gestures and samples of affection that arrive to you very inside. They let you grow.

—You are again at your better moment in Barcelona?

—I do not know if at my better moment, but the important thing is that the things are leaving me affluent. I am marking goals and most important it is than the equipment recovered the confidence that was lost. When tenés a pair of followed victories, the group is more united, that note. In the personnel, I am very autoexigente, always I want to improve. Still I need much. If to the 22 years I believe that me I know all to them, I am ready... Anyway, when I did not play equal I continued thinking that the best thing than has happened to me is to have fichado for Barcelona.

—You spent difficult days through the one of the judgment in which they demand in million by an assumption adjustment to you with your papa...

—Yes, luckily I could play soon after and forget to me those bad moments. It was one week difficult, but my family now is happy because the things are to me leaving better and because the equipment wins. What I passed in that place not desire to anybody, six hours there inside (in the Court)... It was one week difficult. Luckily I could put a goal with Levante. Now I am to one of the 50 in the Barsa, that is another challenge that I want to fulfill.

—You were anxious to recover the goleadora quota?

—He was not desperate, but it needed the goal. Since there were saying, one became difficult to mark if it only had five minutes... Against the Zaragoza I put one of head and against Levante I could turn another one. The important thing is that they served us to gain and to compensate the affection of the fans. We had to win in house. Against the Athletic of Bilbao we deserved the triumph but we had ourselves to only be with the tie. Now it is necessary to think about the Glass of the King and to change the chip because there are followed parties very.

—Why your better yield was with Antic and with Does not go Gaal or Rijkaard?

—Each technician is different. With Radomir Antic I had continuity and I could put 11 goals in the second round of the last season. It was to me very well. I insist, all are different... I only say that with four technicians it is very difficult to render. All look for my better place in the field and if they are changing to you, I do not say that they are annoying to you, but therefore to me it becomes very difficult... In addition he is complicated to have a defined scheme this way. Antic has been the one that has removed the best yield from me. With him I lived my better moments since I am in Barcelona. The trainer of now, Rijkaard, also trust me, I am playing. He is the technician and he is the one who must evaluate the level of the players whom he has in the establishment. I do not have to demonstrate nothing to him to anybody. The technical body knows how game and that the things can leave or, to regulate badly or. At the moment in which I did not play, surely it was because another one made it better than I. There was no bad intention in no side, of that I am safe.

—How go your the proceedings for the nationality?

—They go well. They are all the documents given in Madrid and now only lack that calls to me of the Ministry of Justice to see when I must go. As for me, I do not see any maneuver of pressure on the part of the club to force my nationalization, I believe that the season that comes I will have it. Anyway, the club is not helping us in the proceedings, has not made anything to help us.

—Your nationality finally will be the Italian, like the one of your paternal grandfathers?

—No, the proceeding is by the Spanish nationality, not by the Italian. The family of my mother is of Allies Cáceres, Extremadura.

—Apparently, you cleared the position to him to Kluivert...

—The important thing is that all we must add by the good of the equipment. In addition, Saturday Patrick and I played many together minutes (NdeR: 40 minutes and Barcelona happened to gain 1 to 0, although later the Athletic of Bilbao would tie), is a very competitive establishment.

—And what such Davids?

—He is a player who is going to contribute many things to this Barcelona because it is a great recuperator of balls. In addition, it has a verified race.

—How you llevás with Ronaldinho, the Brazilian star?

—Very well. How I am going away to take badly if it is being ed ***reflx mng all along? Like player, it has the best technique, it surprises us its own companions. But sabés the Maxima? For Year End we had to play the invisible friend. To that not sabés who did a gift to me...

—Ronaldinho?

—Yes, ja ja. And as I am one of smallest of the establishment, Ronaldinho gave a baby toy to me! I had to give something to Rafael Márquez, the Mexican. As it likes the cars, I gave one to him to remote control... The competition is healthy, in serious, that is most important. When we recorded a video that happened through television in the Celebrations, we had to count things of when we were smaller, was each anecdote!

—You are changed after almost three seasons in Europe?

—And, to the Saviolita that made debut to the 16 years in River passed things to him in the life. I passed moments pretty, I enjoyed Olympic returns, but very difficult, also really hard. And I came out ahead. I matured much, I did not have alternative. I am greater and I think different, is something natural. But for people I continue being the Pibito. And that enchants to me.
