Former Barcelona defender and French international Eric
Abidal was present in the stands when Barca beat PSG to qualify for the semi-final
spot in the UEFA Champions league. After the game, Abidal spoke earlier this
day in the opening ceremony of his foundation which aims to improve the 'life of young cancer sufferers’. The 37 year old was full of appraisal for his
ex-club FC Barcelona and feels that Barcelona have a good chance to win the
treble this year but however it will be not an easy task.
Abidal retired from football last season and is currently
working as an associate in the marketing department for the Olympiakos club,
where he played his last few years. Abidal also expressed his desires to comeback and work for FC Barcelona in the near future. He believes, there are many
similarities between his foundation aim and that of FC Barcelona’s and hopes to
co-operate with each other in the near future.
Abidal’s words, “They work as hard as possible to achieve everything, They are in good
form, they showed it yesterday against PSG and like each year, are favorites to
win the Champions League. I hope that they can reach the final and lift the trophy, I know them and I know that it is one of the
biggest objectives of the club.”
“They are always favorites and now they're playing well winning
everything is possible but really difficult. They are in the good path. People
know Barça is my home but now my priority is the Foundation. I hope we can
co-operate with Barça's Foundation. We share the same values”.
Eric Abidal has played a total of 125 games for the
Catalonian side and was considered to be one of the best in his position.
