Goalkeepers need an element of insanity.

Messi is undoubtedly a gifted footballer, like Maradona and Pele, and he's playing for the best club side in the world at the moment. He's successful and he's winning trophies, so it's only logical that he'll be voted the best player in the world.

I want to successfully make the transition from a life in professional sports to another life, without running into major upheavals.

If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen.

It took me a long time to realize that football isn't martyrdom, but a game that's enjoyable, and one in which getting better at it is supposed to be fun. Perhaps it would have been better if I had understood this as a young man.

It looked pretty wild, but I was actually in control of myself. I've never really injured anyone throughout my career.

If I play, I try to concentrate on producing my best.
