“I have my flaws too, but I am a professional who doesn’t like to miss or lose.”

When I win awards, I think of my father.

Never forget where you came from.

In study, like in sport, to win you need determination, commitment, and preparation.

If you think you’re perfect already, then you never will be.

For the people that I love I only have one face but for some people we can’t have one face.

I don’t have to show anything to anyone. There is nothing to prove.

Family Time is the best time.

So proud to reach 1000 official games in my career with a very important victory that put us on the top of the table again!

Without football, my life is worth nothing.

Workout to improve mind and body.

A difficult game but a very important point. Keep on fighting until the end.

I know I’m a good professional, I know that no one’s harder on me than myself and that’s never going to change, under any circumstances.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

It’s always good to start the season with a win!

These are challenging times. Let’s make sure we stay on top of our game so we can all come back stronger.

When we become patient and consistent, we find the way to get through the difficulties.

I have a big-picture outlook, I am willing to fall, and I understand it’s ok to fall, but I am going to get back up, I may take a step back, but in the end, I am going to take a giant leap forward.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

Life is about being a versatile athlete and training in all realms of life.

I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch.

When I step on the field, it’s on. I know it’s time to go to work.

The most important thing that a young athlete must do it pick the right sport. Not one that they like just a little bit, but one that they love. Because,if they don’t really love their sport, they won’t work as hard as they should. Me? I loved to hit.

Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.
