Football is an art, like dancing is an art - but only when it's well done does it become an art.

Work on your strong points because they are what made you.

Sometimes now, when I watch continental games on television, I'm a bit bored. I ask, 'where is the intensity?'

Everyone plays the ball over the top and, at the moment, we only concede goals from crosses or balls over the top. I feel we will adapt to that.

If I left I would feel a deserter - like the guy who walks away from the army once there is a war. I am highly committed to this club. I love what I do here and love the spirit of the team.

The real revelation of a player's character is not in his social life but in how he plays. In my social life I can hide my real personality.

What motivates me is an ideal of thinking about how football should be. And to try to get near this way of playing. And to try to improve all aspects of my personality that can help me get near this ideal way of playing football.
