Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.

I was at Barcelona for many years where I won a lot of things and achieved a lot of dreams. For these reasons it holds a special place in my life.

Ashley Cole is a fantastic defender. I have seen him keep the best players in the world quiet.

I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them.

I am passionate about music - and people think because I go to places where I can enjoy music I have to be partying. It isn't true.

God gives gifts to everyone, some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.

I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team's players.
