On crosses, sometimes I make my move one or two seconds before the ball is coming because I'm trying to guess that the ball is coming there. It's intuition. So I run. Sometimes the ball comes...sometimes not. But that intuition is working.

If you're inside the box and a cross is coming, sometimes you need, as we say in Spanish, to smell the intuition, to smell where the cross is going.

I'm never going to be in a comfort zone. I always want to be a better player, person. I want to help my team get the goals that we are aiming for.

At the end, what do you prefer? To play beautifully and stay in the same place, the round of 16, or play ugly and reach a semifinal?

I'm a born athlete. Weight-lifting is in my blood. I used to do the powerlifting thing. I gained a little weight, but I still got it; I'm mad built.

I'm too busy with entertainment to think about anything else. No one knows this sport better than I do. I've been a fan of this sport since UFC 1 in Denver. I've followed this sport, I've been obsessed with this sport, I've trained with the best of the best, and I've fought the best of the best.

I want to support kids that not a lot of people believe in. Give them an opportunity to do good in school, play sports and get scholarships.

I'm going to keep loving football. That's one thing I'm most proud of: my hunger and desire for the game has not stopped.
