A biography for Gerard Deulofeuhasn’t been written yet.
“In the day-to-day, one only thinks about his club in training and trying to be in the starting line-up.”
“I'm happy here at Everton. When I decided to come here, I came thinking only in my club, which is Everton, and nothing else. What has to happen next will happen next. I feel comfortable here. I do not know whether my game is more suited to the Premier league or La Liga, but I am very well here.”
“I'm 23, and I have played in the Premier League, in La Liga and in Italy.”
“When Pep was at Barcelona, I was so young, 16 or 17 years old. I went to training a lot, and Pep Guardiola told me a lot of things, but I didn't stay in the first team. He is an amazing coach, and if he comes to the Premier League, I think he will win a lot of titles.”
“Sometimes, the players who are not spoken about a lot, they grow and get better - with silence.”
“Always, you have these objectives when you are young. You think you can be the best, and that's what I have to be because, if not, I'm not playing football.”
“I follow the Premier League quite a lot. It's one of the best leagues in the world.”
“I learned personally and in football. Until you're away, and you have no family, the food, the weather, you don't know what you have, and you learn to value things.”
“The atmosphere of football in England is intense. There's so much passion.”
“In football, you cannot only play because of your quality and talent. Defence is a must.”
“I think La Masia is the most important academy in the world. The coaches and the whole club helps you for your future.”
“Like all players, I do not like being a substitute.”
“When family and friends go to Everton, they tell me that there's a moment when I get the ball, and fans get to their feet in anticipation. There's so much at stake that people live under permanent pressure.”
“I would really like to be at Barca because it is the best team in the world. I would like to be in the first team, but also, I know it is very complicated, as there are very good players.”
“I'm an attacking player, and I can play wide.”
“There are not too many coaches who trust in young guys.”
“If you want to be in the top teams, you know you have competition in your place.”
“If you play good, then you stay in the newspaper all the time.”
“At the end of the day, it's me who has to earn the right to play more.”
“I always followed Everton. If the team were playing on television, I would watch the game. If not, then I would look to check the results. I always wanted to see how they were doing.”
