Freddy Adu

I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco wanted me and did whatever they could to get me so I feel very very good about that. ”

I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen. ”

When I'm out there on the field, I'm in a whole different world, you know? It's like, I'm just having so much fun. ”

I'm going to go in and play, because the most important thing is playing on the field and being able to contribute. I really am ready. ”

Nothing has been given to me. ”

I don't know French at all. I took some lessons when I was younger but all I know are the numbers. I've been told basically everyone in Monaco speaks English because of it being a huge vacation spot so I'm excited about that. I might not need to learn French after all. ”

I mean, I couldn't ask for a better life, man. ”

I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood. ”

I couldn't ask for a better life. ”

You can teach all the other stuff, you know. You can teach shooting the ball, you can teach having a good touch... passing and whatnot, but when you get out there on the field, it's just a mindset you need to go into the game with. ”
