Players want to enjoy their football and talk up their performances. ”

Not many know this, but in training sessions, I like to play in the center-back position sometimes. I think I'm good at that position, and my father used to be a central defender. Some people don't realize that if you play in that position, you can better understand how the defender thinks. ”

I credit my success to my mother. Her prayers and support are everything to me. I know all she does for me, and I know nothing I do can ever pay back the amount of support she has given me. ”

I can't play for the national team if I'm not playing for my club. ”

It's always good to beat a top team like Chelsea. ”

Every team is going to lose; every team is going to win. ”

I don't want to show my emotions in public. ”

I try to do different things, beautiful things, to play the game the way I see it, and I think I'm doing it pretty well. ”

I think every person is different in coping with pressure; every person thinks differently. For me, sometimes it is difficult because people expect so much of me. ”

I don't play for money. I play for glory and winning championships. ”
