When I left for Qatar, I knew, of course, that this could have an impact on my career as an international.

I always found new challenges in my career.

There is a family atmosphere at Inter, and there are all the ingredients to aim high.

I have a very good feeling at Inter, and I don't want to let them down after winning everything and losing Jose Mourinho.

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

Football is oneness in action. When played well, it is unity on display. Players come from different races and different backgrounds. However, when they get on the field, they harmonize their differences toward a common goal.

I don't think it's fair to 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds to say 'Show us you're a winner right now!' Winning isn't everything. I'll never buy that thing that if a boy loses a football game, he's a loser in life.

I think that money has changed my sport.
