Deco reaffirms Barca love

Deco has again insisted that playing in Barcelona was always his boyhood dream.

There were murmurings some weeks ago about Deco and whether he was entirely happy with life at Camp Nou.

The Brazilian-born Portuguese international had suggested that he preferred spending time with his international team-mates rather than those in Catalunya.

However, he denied that he was unhappy and has now again stated his delight at playing for Los Cules.

"During my stay in Porto, offers from Chelsea and Bayern Munich arrived but my vote went with Barca," he explained to Nox.

"I always wanted the Catalan life.

"To play in Barcelona is a dream for me since I was a kid, because the club represents a region and morals special to me."
