I do not look at the end of my career with any fear.

I am an attacking midfielder, and I have scored goals, but I want to score more and win more.

I am not too worried about not scoring many goals as long as someone else is.

Personally, I don't focus much about the statistics of goals and assists. I always want to improve, but I'm not worried about statistics.

When you are young and you play football, you must play in the street. When you go to a club at the age of five, and the coach says you must pass this, eat this, drink this... it's not a life. Young people must train for themselves, play football every day, and not have three coaches, with each one saying this and this.

Jackie Robinson, as an athlete and as someone who was trying to make a stand for equality, he was exemplary.

If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

I also developed an interest in sports, and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football, baseball, basketball and occasionally, ice hockey.
