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

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 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.

There are so many things in life that make you sad, you have to be happy.

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.

If I play a bad game, I know I played a bad game. If I play a good game, I know I played a good game. So I don’t need anyone to tell me if I did good or bad – because I know it.

Give up? I don’t know what that means.

I play football; I do what I like.

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.

Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad. When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.

I am really a loner after all; I am really not a social person. Because of my job, people think I am out every night, but I really hate all that. I am somebody who likes to be alone and see some close friends. I am a shy and introspective person.

The organization cannot trust the individual; the individual must trust the organization.

Becoming a good person in your sight is better than being good at other’s sight.

When you do not accept the insult some one casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it first; a registered letter that is not accepted returns to the sender.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.

It takes a person with a mission to succeed.

Breathing and using cold, through cold showers and experiences, provides a boost of performance compared to anything that would be possible if the person had not done that.
