That goal [in the 1998 World Cup] changed me-not as a person, but as a player. People have looked at me differently ever since. It gave me confidence and now I feel I can achieve anything.

I knew it was my time to retire, when I saw Messi running past me.

The criticism hurts sometimes and I worry about the effect on my family.

I feel I can still do the same job as I did 10 years ago - I've just got a few more wrinkles!

Coaching is not something I'm passionate about. I'm passionate about coaching kids

Soccer is a magical game.

I can play in the center, on the right and occasionally on the left side.
