Playing further up the pitch, you have more opportunities to score and provide assists, and it's something I liked right from the start.

When you grow up, you gain experience and realise what youre capable of.

To the children of yesterday, who have grown up and become parents, and to the children of today, who perhaps shout 'Tottigol,' I'd like to think that, for you, my career has become a fairytale for you to pass on.
