After a great save or a mistake by a defender, I prefer not to shout on him; I prefer to wait and say it inside of the dressing room. I was always like that. I am relaxed, I try to be normal after a mistake, and when I make a mistake, I don't want people coming to me on the pitch shouting at me.

I had a lot of tough times, and I know what it is. We must move forward, working equally and always strong.

When you have bad moments, you have to improve. You have to become stronger to deal with it, and I believe I have become stronger.

At the end of the day, this is football, and it's quite normal for anyone to go through difficult moments - and it's something you can learn from.

I had a great interest in sports. I had three older brothers who were great athletes. I was not.

On winter Sundays when I was a child, we waited for my father to return from his tennis game with bagels and sturgeon and for my mother to object when the 1 P.M. Giants game began.

It's a mutual respect, especially a player like Neymar, a player of a similar age to me and someone I've got massive respect for what he's done in world football.

Snooker has just been a British-based sport for such a long time and when I started at 18 the furthest you'd go would be London.
