In the end, for me, football is still a game. Even if you are a professional, you need to have fun when you are on the field. If you don't enjoy your job, you don't have fun.
My favourite team is Liverpool. My favourite player is Michael Owen, and I would like to play there.
There are always new challenges in football. You just need to adapt; otherwise, you won't fit in. And if you don't fit in, then you will have to go somewhere else.
A life of anybody is not perfect; there is always things that happen, and that is what makes it interesting.
I always like to assist more than scoring: it gives me another feeling; I cannot explain it.
You have to show you have ambition as a team, as a group of players; show you want to win. Otherwise, in my opinion, you can't win a tournament.
I try to look up as quickly as possible, try to read the situation, but football is so quick, it's just a split-second, and then you decide.
I don't agree that we have to win the Champions League to be a success.
When you score, it's a great feeling, but to give a great pass means it's something special for me. It's very under-rated what we do.
I'm not the most open player; I'm not the biggest clown. I just like going into the dressing room easy.
Playing me in different positions helped me to get in the head of the others players: to know what they're thinking, where and how they are going to move.
As a player, perhaps you have the chance to take part in a World Cup or a European Championship twice or three times in a lifetime. Other competitions, you have another match three days later. Here, it's different: we know we're out if we don't win.
I don't want anyone to get injured. It's a competition: you want to play against the best teams and the best players.
People are looking a lot at statistics and all these things, but in the end, I don't really care. If we can win more games than last year where I score less, I will be really happy. And maybe if we can win a few titles, that's the bonus.
United are one of the biggest clubs in the country. They're a massive team; they want to win the title. They spent a lot of money, like a lot of the big teams.
Everyone needs to be in position to create the openings we have. We like to play a lot where you pass the ball forward and it comes back, because it makes it easier for us to attack, because the midfielders have to turn round.
I had played in the Mercurial since my teens, but once I had tried out the Magista 2 a few times, I was ready to make a change. It is light, so I can cover all the ground I need to, but gives me a feel for the ball that's right for my game.
You've always six teams who are trying to win the title, and the other five have failed. But by word of saying it, it's not failing; it's just the way it is. The last two years, we didn't win it, so it wasn't good enough, but if now we win it, the other teams will say the same.
I always try to manage the ball in a way that can help the way my teammates receive it.
At the highest level, a discussion can be good sometimes to get everyone back on their toes.
