Jplayed ean-Clair Todibo Ernesto Valverde to explain why he did not get so many opportunities to prove himself Barcelona.
The French defender moves to the Camp Nou in January 2019, but after playing just 325 minutes in five appearances in the next 12 months, he was loaned out Schalke.
Further loans followed this season and after a disappointing time at Benfica, the 21-year-old is now back in France with Nice.
“Barcelona remains a very important experience for me, ” Todibo said.
“I learned a lot from big players like Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet.
‘I think I gained a lot of experience at Barcelona and it was really good. I discovered a higher level.
‘If I did not succeed Barcelona, it’s simply because there were big players in front of me.
“Valverde was also the coach and was under a lot of pressure due to the time he spent at the club.
“The fans were not happy and the club put him under a lot of pressure.
‘It was normal that he chose Gerard Pique, who has more experience, than a 19-year-old child who has just arrived there. ‘
