“I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. When I was younger, I didn’t see my family. I’d go and train all the time, not seeing friends, leaving the country, and stuff like that.”

We are the ones who can make a change.

My family always helped me. I had people around me who always pushed me to be the best: my dad, my mum. My dad used to play and coach as well. But I wasn’t born with shiny things.

I came back to Carrington, and it was like I just came back home.

I like to try new looks and new haircuts. It’s part of who I am.

I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.

Let’s keep our world safe and free from violence.

If you want to speak about scoring goals, you should judge every midfielder the same way.

Great times and good experiences!

That’s why we love football: it’s not about the money or about the hairstyle or the dancing. We want to see beautiful goals, great tackles, fair play, and all this stuff.

I’m sure Mourinho will make me a better player and a better person.

I will not be touched if someone says, ‘I do not love you.’ You have the right. You do not have to love me.

Enjoy every moments in life.

I want to work, to be a great, to win everything.

Choose kindness over aggression.

Fashion has always been as big a part of my life as football has.

I just want to play, whether it’s on the right or the left. I give 100 per cent all the time.

What I notice about men, all men, is that their order is me, my family, God is in there somewhere, but me is first.

My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you’re 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers.

You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.

I’m really close to all of my family.

For not an orphan in the wide world can be so deserted as the child who is an outcast from a living parent’s love.

Family not only need to consist of merely those whom we share blood, but also for those whom we’d give blood.

My parents never looked at my acting as a career. They saw it as a way to help provide for the household.
