What the other teams do is something that I can never control, so I just keep focussed on my direction.

I would obviously like to have been arriving in Valencia with the title still up for grabs, let's not kid ourselves, but even though Valentino has won, the season is not over for me.

If I had accepted the offers to continue just for the sake of carrying on then it wouldn't have made me happy especially if it was just for money. Now I've got other projects to concentrate on.

I'm proud of my triumphs. I've dreamed of being world champion, I've had some difficult times and they've made me value the good times.

I think the physicality of being an athlete or working out, it grounds you. It centers you.

Without training, I'm nothing. If I'm not training, I'm done. Any athlete, they have to train and they have to practice to win games. For sure. One hundred percent. You have to be training.

We must draw a distinction between understanding and supporting Israel's values and existence, and criticising any Israeli government's policy.

I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.
