My motivation comes from playing the game I love.

Give the opponents more than one reason to stare at your feet.

One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honor to be on the same pitch as me. I thought, My God, that is a great thing to say when your team has just lost.

Fatherhood changes you completely. If things didn't go my way before, I became withdrawn and didn't want to see or listen to anyone. Now, when I arrive home, I see my son and everything is OK. He's the most important thing to me now.

Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.

You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.

When my son will be born, my first goal will be for him. The rest, will be as always for my grandmother.
