People whistle me because I am good-looking, rich and a great footballer. They are jealous of me.

I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel satisfied with myself. It is my conviction that here are no limits to learning, and that it can never stop, no matter what our age.

I will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.

When you've got a player who does what he does at that pace this late in the game than you know you've got an invaluable talent.

People that really know me, they adore me.

I enjoy been on holidays because you can do whatever you want and people can't say anything to you.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.
