Rafael Marquez insists he has had the best year of his career
with Barcelona.
The Mexican defender is pleased with the confidence given to him by
manager Frank Rijkaard, and wishes for more of the same next
year.
Marquez also praises the team for their performances in 2006 and
commends the atmosphere at the club.
He told Televisa Deportes: "I am very satisfied and proud of the
success I have had this season. Without doubt this has been the
best year of my career.
"At this moment I can only sing the praises of the coach Frank
Rijkaard and hope that the same thing will happen in 2007."
Marquez also gave advice to new Mexican coach Hugo Sanchez
insisting he will have to unite the latest cycle of players in
order to bring success.
"This is a new cycle of players and the coach can begin from zero.
The coach will have to unite the team," he said.
