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

I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.

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.

Considerable research on successful soccer players and their developmental history, affirms that a good percentage of them have spent time in isolation, working on soccer skills.

When you control the ball you control the score

For 20 years they have asked me the same question, who is the greatest? Pele or Maradona? I replay that all you have to do is look at the facts - how many goals did he score with his right foot or with his head?

Everything is practice.
