I have to say that when I was young, when any politician was talking I wasn’t even interested. Maybe they were saying some nice stuff, but then if you put Michael Jordan on TV, I was interested!
Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it’s both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more… not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.
If I had a Paul Scholes in my team, everything would be around him. At Manchester United, they saw it like that, but I think Paul Scholes is one of the best I’ve played against in this league, and seen anywhere.
When I was 20 or 21, I didn’t… I won’t say care about anything, but you’re like in your own world – you made something that you always wanted to do, and then you kind of think only about your family and yourself.
It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn’t have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.
So many people say that obviously my game has changed since I arrived here and I say that it’s good that it changed, otherwise it would show a lack of intelligence.
