I love playing football but I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning.

I think the fans are going to expect a lot from me, as they should.

I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a ­manager would be my first choice.

I'm only a human being.

Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.

Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.

I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I've done that since I was a young boy.
