It's genetic. I exercise, but I gain mass very quickly.
My training? I don't do weights. It's hard to believe, but I don't do weights.
The most important thing for me was talking to players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Javier Mascherano - they would tell me about the life away from football. All I wanted to do was play football but they explained how important everything is away, how you prepare and live your life.
The happiest I can be is when we win games.
I did learn a lot of things in different positions, wing-back, winger and striker as well so I am happy to go and learn different positions which I like and I trust the process of Nuno Espirito Santo.
Few people will say maybe I had a tough time with different teams like Aston Villa and Middlesbrough but in each situation, I tried to take the good things.
Aston Villa and Middlesbrough, they showed me what is English football. It's tough, it's difficult and they showed me how life is like in professional football.
We wanted to be footballers, not part of some gang.
There were gangs in the school I went to. They fought each other constantly.
We will accept any help we can as we attempt to keep moving forward to become a better team.
If I do not have the option of Barca and I have to go to Real Madrid, I do not close any doors.
I have been playing in different positions and I keep growing.
I don't have resentment towards Barca, only good memories, but if Real Madrid called me I would think about that offer in the same way I would if it was a Barca one.
I spoke to Mali and they understand; I've never lived there and I never said I was going there, my intention was always to play with Spain.
We have to play the game, you can't go on to the pitch thinking the game is already lost.
My heroes were Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, and now it is Messi.
Whether it's 90 minutes, or a half, 10 minutes or whatever, I want to show what I can do.
I like to improve myself every day and whatever my performance, I will always believe I can do better.
There was a misunderstanding with Barca. Something happened that I didn't like, but I prefer to keep it for myself.
If the opposition puts two or three players on me, it means that some of our other players are free. If I can play like that, then it is better for the team.
