I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.

I just do my work, try to do everything I can. I don't weigh in all offseason. I just try to get better, be in better position, be an athlete.

I don't try to lose weight. I don't try to do nothing. I just try to put in my work, feel better, the things that I can do in the field to be better are better, so that's what I do.

My career had fallen into an abyss because I was so complacent with things that I had already accomplished. I did not work hard in order to achieve more and to remain at the level of the player that I am and that I can be.

We live surrounded by critics, so let them talk, let them criticize me as much as they want. Ultimately, that makes me a better player.

It is not about money. It is about how you treat the player.
