I'm a big fan of old boots.

You know when you play in the big away games that the fans are going to be behind their team and will be booing you. As a professional you need to tune yourself out of that part of the game and concentrate on the job at hand.

My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That's what they're doing in the picture. It means a lot.

I hope I become a better player day after day. This is one of my goals. I want to improve in every situation, but when you are playing along with top figures, it is a quality bonus and a bigger effort. Besides, the Spanish Liga also gives you the chance to progress and improve.

I still look at myself and want to improve.

No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.

I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.
