"Sometimes opportunities come in the place that you were born and the place that you go. That is why the place you were born doesn't make a difference. Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave. The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."
"We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born? Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go."
Many people seek improved lives and opportunities for themselves and their families, often leaving their home countries because of local problems rather than by choice. Place of birth does not determine a person's potential or right to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Treating immigrants as the root cause of national problems misrepresents why people move. Embracing other cultures and genuinely integrating newcomers strengthens society and promotes collective well-being. International experience in playing and managing football illustrates movement across countries for work and life. Controversial remarks about immigration prompted an apology while leaving calls for open debate.
