AS Monaco defender Eric Abidal feels he would've been treated better at Barcelona if Pep Guardiola had remained last season.
Abidal thinks the departure of Guardiola at the end of the 2011-12 campaign did little to help his chances of staying with Barca.
"Certainly (things would have been different had Guardiola stayed)," he said.
"He is a person who likes me a lot and with whom I am still in contact.
"He is a great coach and it was he who gave me my chance. If he had still been there, I may have been able to stay on."
