“Discrimination is the biggest problem in football today. We need to stop it.”

Sometimes football can be cruel; cruel and also beautiful.

When I say I want to become a legend, some people say it’s pretentious. For me, it’s a challenge. My desire, a dream. I’m not saying I’ll get there, but it’s what I want.

Don’t look down to the world, look up to the creator.

When I was smaller, I always looked up to Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

Greatness, it’s all in the details.

I do not live for people, for what they think, for them to say that I’m nice, good, the best, perfect. Everyone has their opinion. And I respect that.

Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won’t score lots of goals, but they won’t concede many, either.

I try to not take myself too seriously and just have fun when I’m not playing.

My deepest respect to the clubs who considered having me.

It doesn’t matter if it’s rain or sweat, we got work to do!

I wanted to show the world, to show United that I was ready to play and I was motivated to play. This comeback just showed that I left United, but the power of my heart was still here, to be honest.

I’m someone who says what he thinks.

When you lose someone you love, you don’t think the same way. And that’s why I say I enjoy life: because it goes very fast.

It’s always good to play with big players, you know.

I only think about the pitch. I want to do great. I want to be one of the best. I want to win titles. I want to achieve things.

Sport might not be the answer. But it is a symbol of optimism and hope.

If you are going to be successful, you need to give up the phrase, I can’t & all of its cousins, such as I wish I were able to.

We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.

If You Want Your Life to Be Profound, You Need to Pay Attention.

If you’re in business, you need to understand the environment. You need to have a vision of the future, and you need to know the past.

Work well done is not only a responsibility to yourselves and society; it is also an emotional need.

Evil, as she saw it, need not be committed only by demonic monsters but—with disastrous effect—by morons and imbeciles as well, especially if, as we see in our own day, their deeds are sanctioned by religious authority.

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

We need more love not from men but from ourselves and each other.
