"It's true that before I did more sport and now I don't have much time," says the president of FC Barcelona, responding to the information that those around him are worried about his health.
Are you in good health? Lately, information has appeared that ensures that people close to you are worried.
I know the news has come out, but I'm in good health. It's true that before I did more sport and now I don't have much time to dedicate myself, but I'm fine, which is the important thing. All indicators are good.
Are reviews done?
I had a very exhaustive one at the age of 50 that turned out very well…
But if you just turned 61...
(laughs) No, no, I think I did one two years ago. Vital signs are fine.
You are bad patient.
That's for sure. I'm not much of going to the doctor, and that I am the son and grandson of doctors.
Count…
My father was a great doctor and I eventually came to understand his way of practicing medicine. If we used to tell him stories when we were little, “my arm hurts” and things like that, he would send us off quickly, he wasn't much into heck. I'm not one to go to the doctor, even though I wanted to be.
Shouldn't you take more care?
Let's see, I have some constants by which I am guided and I think I'm fine. They hold up, they work, and I'm in good health. Yes I assume I have to lose weight, I'm working on it now that summer is here and it's easier because it motivates you a little more.
Have you taken the plunge then?
We lead a very intense life and it is true that sometimes my friends may be alarmed, they worry. "One day you'll fire," they tell me. But don't worry, I still have rope for a while.
And what does this setup consist of?
It's simple. It's the diet of eating breakfast like a king and having dinner like a pauper (laughs). I started on my saint's day, Sant Joan, a very important day.
Are the first results already noticeable?
It's still early, but I hope that before the tour they'll appreciate each other, because, really, do you know what happens? Before, when you were younger, you would get fit in a couple of weeks, but now, as you get older, it takes more and more time.
You must take care...
Thanks for the concern and interest, but luckily I'm fine.
