I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

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

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

It's true, pressure is something that goes with football nowadays. You need to accept it, and everything that it involves - the good and the bad.

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

Football boots are very technical and have lots of specific requirements.

Ronaldinho is total class - a very, very great player. He is quick, powerful, and has extraordinary technical qualities. He is a dribbler but is also a player who can make the play for his teammates. He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.
