When I went to Real Madrid, I was only 18 or 19 years old. It was my first year as a professional footballer. I was very young.

I've got a good understanding with Tiemoue Bakayoko.

I haven't played a lot as a centre-back, but in those games, I feel like I did well.

It's not easy to replace the best centre-back in the world.

I guess I compete in everything I do, but it's always good to get out and be active and find an outlet for all of that pent-up aggression you had as an athlete.

What we have seen is that sports is definitely developing in India. I can see a lot of positive things happening in India. It may take a bit more time, but with proper guidance and people having passion for sports, I don't think we are far away from becoming a good sporting nation.

You need to get female talent which is good enough to compete at the right level because no team is going to compromise on on-track performance just to tick a gender box.

When I watch kids play basketball, they don't know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don't know why.
