""He helped me a lot from the moment he arrived at Barcelona, he was with me at all times. He gave me advice, taught me things and did everything possible so that I could be where I am today, in the first division," Messi said in 2005."
""I am at the club's service, and that means today I'm in a different situation. A couple of days ago, I was in a different role, and I'm here for whatever the club needs. In this case, we're on the front line, as we like to say," Hoyos said during a news conference on Wednesday."
""Friendship is not negotiated. There is a friendship there, one that has spanned various years, and one that we share with many players because we have worked together in different countries. Yet, that friendship does not mean that we can be right on top of him, constantly hovering over him, every single day.""
""I believe that everything must be respected: his privacy, and everything else. One must exercise great prudence, and, above all, proceed quietly, while striving to grow and evolve within this dynamic; for, naturally, all of this is new, and being alongside the greatest player in history is truly an extraordinary experience on the pitch. I am grateful, deeply grateful.""
