My idol was always Romario. He was playing in Holland at the time and I loved him. His skills, technique, I loved him he was my hero. I liked his whole game. One moment it would be like he was sleeping and then another moment he would change the game.

The play-maker is the most difficult position because you have to always know where everyone is on the pitch.

I can imagine playing in America.

I think you have to play your own game and sometimes people don't realise that the play-maker runs the most kilometres on the pitch!

Best football player I played against? I think Messi. He killed us.

If you start thinking about stats it can get too complicated and you just have to go out there and play your game.
