When you're playing against a team that has two great central defenders, the best option is to play without a striker.

Football is simple but the hardest thing to do is play simple football.

In a way I'm probably immortal.

I still have a lot of room for improvement.

I felt sorry for the match ball - it came off the pitch crying.

Often you see people who move there and then, once they have arrived, the ball moves here after which they also come here, but then the ball goes there again. I say: just stay where you are, then you are in any case at the right place half of the time.

Surviving the first round is never my aim. Ideally, I'd be in one group with Brazil, Argentina and Germany. Then I'd have lost two rivals after the first round. That's how I think. Idealisitic.
