We know about Portuguese football, we know the Portuguese culture.
It is nice to be known on 'Fifa 19' as the fastest player in the world.
I believe if you keep pushing and keep believing, you get your rewards.
Wherever you come from, even if it's a rough neighbourhood, there are always good people who know what they want to do.
Players like Messi and Xavi are always hungry. Whatever the game or the competition - even if it is table-tennis - they want to win. We used to play two-touch football games after training and they would always be desperate to win. It taught you about life as well as football.
Most of the time I don't go down when they kick me. I try to stay up, so the referee knows that if I go down it's because they kick me badly.
When there is a difficult moment, you need to stay strong because it's difficult when you don't play.
I am working every day.
I was born in Spain, I know the culture there, and lived most of my life there, but I have Malian origins too. For me it's a beautiful thing that I can have both. I can be in both countries, speak the language, blend in in two cultures.
I learned a lot from Ronaldinho and Messi.
When I came to Aston Villa, they had struggled for two years before then.
Nuno works with each player individually. He has worked with me tactically, on where I have to move and when I have to move.
Everyone knows what a good player Ruben Neves is and I have no doubt he could play for massive clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona or Real Madrid one day.
No matter the competition, Premier League or Europa League or cup, I want to win. This is the truth.
I joined Aston Villa to improve myself in the Premier League. It started well but then I got injured and Villa ended up having five managers that season.
All Spanish players want to play for the national team.
Talent is not enough - it's about using it in the right way.
People are thinking I am running so fast on the pitch, but I think it's slow.
I've always been quick, ever since I was little.
I work with a nutritionist, I have my personal trainer and another person who is like my physio.
