Sasha Vezenkov, currently with the Sacramento Kings, reflects on his experience at Barça and does not rule out a possible return despite admitting that he was not treated well during his time at the club. Here are his words to Mundo.

Would you like to play for Barça again if you returned to Europe?

I had difficult years at Barcelona, I think they didn’t treat me well, but not the people who lead the organisation, with Juan Carlos Navarro I have a very good relationship and I learnt a lot from him. I have friends in the organisation, I never say no, but it’s like my time there was difficult for the team and for me. I can’t predict the future, but I have friends I respect a lot.

If I understand you correctly, are you saying you were not treated well at Barça?

Yes, 100 per cent. 100%.

What was the reason? Are you angry with someone?

I don’t feel angry, life goes on. Especially with two people, maybe three. They didn’t give me the right opportunities even playing well. 100%, they didn’t treat me well.

I know, I can say that. But that was five or six years ago, Barça is a great club, I have friends there, I have a lot of respect for Juan Carlos Navarro, he is a legend, I learned a lot from him, we have a good relationship and good conversations when we see each other. As I said, I have something left, but not with the club, but with the people who are no longer there’.

Who are these people?

I don’t name names, they know very well who I am, but I don’t care because I went my own way. But then it was difficult because there was a purpose behind it. It’s all right, I have made my way and as I said, everything is fine and calm now.
