It is difficult to play with your back to goal.

I've never destroyed someone's career.

I prefer defensive midfielder because I know my job when I play there. More things are in front of you.

I try to do my job, give the best of myself, and win games.

I've learned that the most important thing in football when finish a race are the experiences.

I think players tend to get anxious if they've not really done things properly - like eating, resting or training. If you're fully prepared you've got nothing to worry about - it's just a game of football.

Being called up to the national team isn't a competition of who's more patriotic.

I am a professional footballer, and it's a game where the coach decides where you can be most beneficial for the team. As long as I am attacking, I am happy! I know what Jose Mourinho decides will be best for me personally and for the team.
