When my family isn't alright, I get restless. It just doesn't seem right to me.

Why lie? I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.

I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.

I do my profession, my job, I give me all for my club...the rest doesn't matter to me. I don't care what happens on the outside.

But I hope to maintain my credibility after I stop playing. Because, yes of course, now I play and I score goals and children all over are mad about me. Not just poor children - all children. We can make them really happy by the way we play, though I have to say that it's the poor ones that I think of most, the ones who can't come and watch the games at the stadium. We mean so much to them. That's why I'm so committed to this work. Later, after you've stopped playing, it's harder to have the same impact. But I will give it a go. I want to continue doing this kind of work for ever.

I have practically no private life. I'm already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.

I have my flaws too, but I am a professional who doesn't like to miss or lose.
