'I smoke when I want' - Mathieu risks Barcelona ire

Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Barcelona new boy Jeremy Mathieu defended his smoking habit and risked a backlash from his new club by insisting he will indulge in a cigarette when he wants. The Catalunya club bought the French centre-back for €20 million from Valencia last month in a bid to bolster their options at the back following the departure of Carles Puyol. However, some fans have been critical about signing a 30-year-old for such a high fee and the social media furore around Mathieu smoking has not helped his antagonists warm to him. However, he stressed that he hopes he can be judged on the pitch rather than for his personal choices off it. "I do not smoke much but I do smoke when I want," Mathieu is quoted by Marca as saying on Friday. "It is a personal thing. "What actually matters is what happens on the field and people forget that I go running. I want the best for the team, above my own personal goals."
