I am a Libra so I have to balance things.

For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.

All my life my priority was football, football, football. I was just fully focused on that and when my kids were born that focus changed gradually. I had something in my life that changed my perspective. You experience something that is more important than win, lose or draw.

The UEFA Cup is now what we focus on. It's a huge game for us in Rome and it's all to play for.

I don't really like being emotional. Public displays of emotion, I don't really do that sort of stuff. I don't know why. I would like to be the type that doesn't worry about that.

Leading my country out at the World Cup was something I'll never forget.
