I have to keep playing and growing and giving my best.

I know that I need to keep growing as a player.

Everyone knows Pep Guardiola is a great professional, but getting to know him, I have realised he is an even better person.

I am very self-critical and always will be. I think this makes me want to improve, always. But just because I'm self-critical and say what I thought of my performance in a game, it doesn't mean I will bring myself down, ever.

I have a lot of admiration for those who build tactical systems, but I always thought the most important thing a good coach must do is build the team around the characteristics of his players.

Most schools, the football players are kind of the kings in school.

I try to enjoy the moment, I like to play football, and every time I go on the pitch, I try my best.

I think young men and boys are taught to fail. It's nothing to them; they do sport, they fall over, they shout, 'I'm all right,' and carry on. But with girls, they're so appallingly embarrassed to fail, it's like it's considered unfeminine.
