I played for Barcelona, for Ajax, where it's important to develop and integrate young talent.
I played street soccer; that's where I started. If you look at South America, that's why they have technical players.
I have respect for every level of football.
I'm just straightforward.
That is life: you have to deal with things, and it's up to you how you deal with things. That's what makes you mature or not. If you can get the best out of yourself, that's all that matters. If you do that, nobody is arguing.
I love London. It is such a melting pot. Everything is here.
If you play for Barcelona or Ajax or for any top team or top side, they want to see the top players excel every week.
Barcelona need somebody at the back who can defend and has that passion the fans love.
Pogba is an extraordinary talent.
I know him very well, but I think Alessandro Del Piero knows himself the best, better than everyone else, so only he can answer the question if he needs to stop or needs to play. It's his own decision.
Great players will always be able to play with other great players.
Gerrard is passionate, and he leads from the front. At times, he has lifted Liverpool to great wins almost single-handedly.
I have my own brand called Monta, including a specially designed street soccer ball made out of a denim material which fades like your old jeans when used.
When you play eleven a side, you might go through a game with very few touches, but with street football, you're always involved in the game, so it is a great way to improve your skill and to learn how to create and use space, as the pitch is very small.
When you change team, and you have the right mindset and a coach who respects you, everything becomes easier.
The only person who can help Balotelli is Balotelli.
It is important to have tough and strong players to win back the ball and give consistency to a team.
Asian players are very eager to work hard, but they don't have the physicality of the Europeans, so they might actually need to work twice as hard. With street football, their skills will improve a lot, and so will their tactical awareness, because by playing within a limited space, you need to be very focused on your game.
Most racist people are like sheep. They are people without backbones.
You can get racially abused 10 times before you even reach the football stadium. If you've been confronted every day with something like that, it's hard. This is not about people playing the 'race card.' This is a reality that people like to sweep under the carpet.
