SIMAO WANTS ANSWERS

The 21-year-old has been confined to the bench for large portions of this season and he is not too happy about not being in the starting line-up.

"I would like to know what players the club wants for the next season," said Simao. "I don't understand anything".

"I don't know nothing about rumours which say that the club is negotiating my sale. I want to stay the six years of my contract".

The player is also in the dark about who his new coach may be, saying:  "I don't know how will be next coach.

"Now I only think of Barcelona, although in June I will see. In football, we have always to carry on and if I have to change I will change. It does not matter."

Dutch international Boudewijn Zenden, who has also been on the bench for most of this season, had sympathy with Simao`s situation.

"It's a difficult situation to accept," said Zenden.
