I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.

Everyone talks about the forwards, the players when they are scoring goals. But sometimes I look for the complete player not just the players who score but those who can pass.

If you ever want to be a decent player, you have to be able to use both feet without stopping to think about it.

The biggest family in the world is football, because football has more associate - and FIFA, for example - has more associates than UNESCO.

I love people. I wanted to be with the people. I wanted to give something back what I get from football, because God gave everything to me.

I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.

Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
