There are some casual fans who think you're going to dominate a game, be magic, score 10 goals. Even if you dominate a game, you'll only score two or three goals.

I couldn't ask for a better life.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play.

I need to have the ball at my feet. That's when I know anything is possible.

I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.

You can't do anything to help your team win when you don't play.

My image is very important to me. I want to bring a good face to my family. That's the way I've been raised.
