I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.
At Barca we trained every day with the ball. I hardly even took a step running without a ball at my feet.
I NEVER LOOK BACK AT WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED BECAUSE I AM ALWAYS LOOKING AT THE FUTURE. I CAN LOOK BACK AT WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED WHEN I AM RETIRED - BUT UNTIL THEN IT IS ALL ABOUT FOCUS.
It takes sacrifice as well as talent.
The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
The Barcelona youth program is one of the best in the world. As a kid, they teach you not to play to win, but to grow in ability as a player.
