I don't have an expiry date. My body is my answer - when I see that I can no longer compete, when my head is not in it anymore, it will be the time to stop. ”

Jose Mourinho is a great coach. I would really like to work with him, and I once came close. He knows what weapons to use against teams, and he has won everything. ”

A player cannot rely only on his name to make a difference but also has to work hard and make things happen on the pitch. ”
