For me, the youth academy has a fundamental role in every club.

I am very self-critical about what I do. Always.

Playing every day with important players is good for a young player: you are always learning from experienced players.

Maybe other managers would see their team score one goal and then prefer to go back and counter-attack, then try to score the second goal. A lot of those managers are the best managers at the moment, but for me, it's very important to continue the way I play.

I consider my education to be the first 10 years of my career.

A large part of my career is due to perception, what people think what I am or should be.

The first time I came here to the U.S. to start a career, it was in 2002 or 2003. Since then, it's been so, so hard.

I think that's why I was able to go so far in my life and career - because my mom always supported me, even when I had the craziest ideas ever.
