Football brings you lots of lovely things, but then you have to realise that it's actually a job.

When we play at the World Cup, any African will back any African team. Because we want to hear the different approach to African football. We want to hear that Africans can do well, and Africans do well.

You must respect people, and you must respect money. My father said to me: 'When you respect money, money will respect you.'

To be honest, proper recognition has only come from the fans. I don't want to be hard, and I don't want to be negative, but I want to be honest.

There are people who love you and people who hate you, but for me, more so, people only think they know me by how I act or perform on a tennis court.

If I'm not playing football, I'm preparing to play football. That's kind of how I kind of view my life.

Most coaches would consider leading a team to an Olympic gold medal a capper for a pretty good year. The same goes for winning an NCAA national championship. Or a FIBA world championship. Mike Krzyzewski, head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and Team USA, led teams to each of these honors... within about 24 months.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.
