My dream is to help young players. I don't want them to make the mistakes I did in the past.

We are in the year 2013, and racism is still amongst us and is still a problem. It's not simply an argument for the History Channel or something that belongs to the past or something that only happens in other countries.

Don't ask me about Real Madrid - it's just the past.

The most important thing is to help the team to come in front of the goal with one-two passes, I drop down, or I give them space, because for defenders, it's always difficult to have a false nine because they don't have a direct player against them, so they don't know exactly what to do.

While American football is very structured and linear and static - where everyone lines up, and there's a burst, and it happens - soccer is like the cosmos. It's like constellations. It's bodies moving in space. It's a very spherical game.

I did every sport under the sun while growing up.

For me, you've got to play football first. We're not trying to be accountants. The money takes care of itself. That's kind of how I think anyway.

The physical part of football has always been a massive part of my game so I can cover the ground during games.
