Diego Godin

I've got some wonderful memories of the 2011 Copa America. It was a very special tournament. ”

Scoring goals is nice, but what matters are results. ”

The line between winning and losing is very thin, and wins give you prestige, stability, and continuity. ”

It's true that football is a job, and one works to earn money, but when there are so many feelings involved, it's hard to change clubs just to earn a bit more cash. I respect every player and their decisions, but that's my feeling. ”

In Uruguay, we are competitive; that's part of our character. ”

I was taught to be respectful and humble as a boy, and especially not arrogant. ”

I will give 100 per cent and play with my life in every game. That's one of my main features as a player. ”

I always try and give a good example to children who follow me. ”

There are people, coaches, and players who fit in certain places. All players don't fit into all teams, and not every manager can manage every team. ”

Football is very changeable, particularly at international level when you're not working together every day. ”
