Private life is private life. Off the pitch, there is private life, and the rest is social life, where of course you have to behave responsibly.

For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.

As far as I'm concerned, this guy should never play football again. The answer you normally get after a tackle like that is 'he is not the type of guy who does that.' It's like a guy who kills one time in his life - it's enough. You have a dead person. This tackle is absolutely horrendous.

Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home.

I do not think about the national team too much because footballistically it is not of too much interest.

You cannot play for Arsenal and give up, no matter what the score is.

I am supposed to take the bullets and absorb them. Like a bear, a polar bear.
