I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.
Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.
I think I have a sense of mischief and that I can laugh at myself.
Without spontaneity in any sport, you cannot succeed.
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.
