Without spontaneity in any sport, you cannot succeed.

Being on stage isn't so tough compared to the football pitch.

I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.

You can change your wife, your politics, your religion, but never, never can you change your favourite football team.

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.

Often there are players who have only football as a way of expressing themselves and never develop other interests. And when they no longer play football, they no longer do anything; they no longer exist, or rather they have the sensation of no longer existing.

I don't think the world of football is so serious. It's important to have distance about things and about yourself. If we believe we are kings or gods, we become crazy. We all know it's a game and we all enjoy it together.
