Moreover, he had not recommended to his ex-teammate to join the Gunners last season.
Gerrard explained that "His wife is from Barcelona and you can not blame his choice , for a player like him, who has worked so hard for his dream , you cannot blame him when he says he wants to leave for Barcelona. "
Stevan continued saying "Since the first day, his dream was to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Last summer, when he was in dispute with the club's board , as he used to train in his corner , i told him 'don't join Arsenal' , i would have been really sad and disappointed to see Luis playing for Arsenal , with all the respect that I have for them, I told him that he was too good for Arsenal".
