There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world's best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.

Talent is important but it is not the key point.

I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.

I feel I have grown up. I am a man. It's important in my football too. When everything is good, I don't think you grow up fantastically, I think maybe you need a few problems to grow up. It is good if people in England have started to admire me. I think I have changed a little since the World Cup. I am stronger with my mentality and with my game as well.

I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.

I'm in love with football, but I just needed to recapture that strength to train and play. So many people helped me along the way that I'm afraid to leave anyone out. Above all, though, I want to mention the help of my medical team that has been working alongside me for the past two years.

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.
