My memories of events and games are fragmented.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

There was huge pressure, especially before the big games. Not many people believed in us, but we believed in ourselves. We wanted to do something good and we did.

Everything Iniesta does impresses me. He could even play as goalkeeper. He's magical.

I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet.
