“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.”

My dad was a very strong man, very stubborn as well.

With determination, you can achieve anything. Put your mind to being the best you can be and everything is possible.

I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don’t like to be second or third: they’re the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you’re on the way, but you want to finish first.

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.
