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

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.

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.
