During the bitter summer transfer campaign, Spanish central manager Inigo Martinez swapped Catalan Barcelona for Arabian An-Nasr.

About the process of transition to the new club 34-Richny Vikonavets in the remaining interview.

“It’s true that Hansi Flick loved me very much, but he also knew for sure that I was giving his command, not only on the field, but also behind him.

Having acquired a key figure, a key element in my plans, if a piece of this puzzle was falling apart at the last moment, Raptovo and incompetent, for him it was natural to sense the singing doubts or the ruin of it.

Having respected me as a regular figure in the team, then, if you changed a little bit, you would wonder what’s normal - this kind of football. I think that the shock was connected with this, that I learned about it when I was already at the flight.

To be honest, I didn’t even dare to tell you right away. There were times when I said to myself: “Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about this tomorrow.”. Then tomorrow came, and I said: “Later, not now.”.

After the last match, it was a long journey: a few years on the bus, a few miles at gas stations, then to the airport, and there, on the way, I talked to my assistant and told him that I wanted to talk to the coach, because I have so much more.

Finally, I decided to talk to him at the letaku. And to be honest, the novelty has caught up with him - unsatisfied, obviously, for him,” said the Spanish historian.

For An-Nasr, Martinez has already won nine matches and scored one goal.
