Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.

I didn't want really to be involved in a normal soccer club.

I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.

An artist is someone with the gift to light up a dark room.

My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.

Actually, I wanted to act even when I was still playing football.
