If there is one thing that all players have in common it is that winning, competitive gene; the ability to overcome obstacles and fight for what you want from your career.

There are moments when the human body can overcome things you would never expect.

Small players learn to be intuitive, to anticipate, to protect the ball. A guy who weighs 90 kilos doesn't move like one who weighs 60. In the playground I always played against much bigger kids and I always wanted the ball. Without it, I feel lost.

If you win without sacrifice you enjoy it but it's more satisfying when you have struggled.

Some people like you, some people don't. In the end you just have to be yourself.

One thing I want you to understand is if I make a decision, it's my decision.
