Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.

Messi is the real deal when it comes to Number 10s. He represents a type of football that transcends borders.

I have cried twice in my life watching a football player; the first one was Maradona and the second was Ryan Giggs.

Messi on the World Cup 2014? He showed why he is the best player in the world. It was a pleasure to see him play.

Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the fame in the right manner.
