ROMÁRIO on returning to Barcelona after Brazil won the 1994 World Cup: “I extended my holiday by 45 days. When I came back, the players wanted a meeting with me straight away. “They started criticising me, so I stopped them. I told Laudrup, ‘You didn’t even go to the World Cup.’ I told Koeman, ‘You didn’t even see me when we played, you’re still looking for me on the pitch.’ Then I went through them one by one telling them I was the best.” “There were players who were bitter because they hadn’t won anything and I came back as world champion. They came to confront me, but why? They hadn’t won anything and I had. “So who was in charge? Me. At Barcelona I did what I had to do. I was the best in the world, won titles, scored goals and left when I wanted.”
