“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.”

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.

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.

Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.

It was a dream to arrive at Liverpool but I never wanted to just settle for what I had achieved. I wanted more.

We’re so used to presenting ourselves and getting approval according to our achievements that it’s difficult to be authentic and trust that we’ll be accepted just as we are.

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully – through me, a little – the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

I’m happy with the person I become.

My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel–it is, before all, to make you see.

I just wanted to speak to the streets and give them motivation on making it out. Whatever situation they’re in, know that they can make do and have a better life.
