Gerard Deulofeu has joined a new club, signing with Udinese in the summer transfer window, and he is looking to enjoy success upon his return to Serie A, a league where his idol Ronaldinho played for AC Milan.
The Spaniard has spoken about his admiration for the Brazilian and for Lionel Messi, another legend he coincided with at Barcelona.
"For me, Ronaldinho is the best player in history," Deulofeu said in an interview with Serie A's official website.
"I met him, I went to see a match at the Camp Nou and he was sitting next to me. It was a wonderful experience.
"Messi is incredible too, I like him very much.
"I played with him for six months and he is a nice person, a great player.
"The whole world knows about Messi."
Speaking about his own career, Deulofeu reflected on his return to Serie A and said he had been impressed by Udinese's facilities when he played there for AC Milan back in 2017.
"The stadium is beautiful, but I already knew that because I played here with AC Milan," Deulofeu said.
"I like the training complex, it's very big.
"I had a wonderful experience in Serie A the last time, as I played a lot and I played well.
"I have a wonderful memory of AC Milan and of their fans.
"But now I'm here and my respect goes to Udinese and the club's fans.
"I feel different than I did then, because then I was looking for regular game time and consistency in my performances.
"Now, after two and a half years at Watford, I think I am a totally different player.
"I want to help the team by playing my best in attack.
"Let's see what happens. I'm happy, I've worked a lot in the last few months.
