Last summer, defender Jeremy Mathieu, who arrived at "Barcelona", revealed the difficulties he faced in the new club, admitting that he lost faith in his abilities.
The Frenchman moved to Catalonia from "Valencia" for 20 million euros and signed a four-year contract, but injuries overshadowed the beginning of the season.
Later, however, Mathieu made it to the starting lineup, and in yesterday's match against "Villarreal" demonstrated excellent play.
"At first, I felt very good in the team," - said the 31-year-old footballer. "At some point, I lost confidence in myself, but in training I try to give 100 percent of my strength."
"I had some bad patches, but now I have returned to my game. I am happy with my performance against 'Villarreal'."
