It is very exciting to be playing in the Champions League because it is the dream of every player in the world.
The people in Senegal like me, so I am happy.
I'm someone who likes to listen, who likes to watch, and who likes to learn.
I never doubted how I could help the team, and I never stopped working hard every day in training.
I won't touch alcohol.
I think it's a personal pride to hear everyone talking about me.
The wrong team wanted me, by the way - of course United. I spoke with Van Gaal, and they even made an offer, but for me, it was not the right club and not the right moment.
The first time I watched a World Cup game was in 2002. That was the first time Senegal had ever qualified for the World Cup, and it was great moment that I will never forget in my life. I was ten years old at the time, and that experience of watching my country in a World Cup is what inspired me to become a footballer.
It's the rival that gives you the tempo depending on who is on the ball or who a pass is played to. That is the little secret.
Everyone likes Klopp. He is one of the best in the world, and for us to have the chance to have him as a coach makes us all happy.
I work in the gym; twice a week, I do abdominals. It is very, very important. I do quick sessions, as I don't want to get big.
My first hero to wear the number 10 shirt was Ronaldinho.
I just try to work harder and harder every day to improve and get better and better.
Jurgen Klopp is like my father.
All I can do is do my best: score goals, give assists, and do my best for my team.
Whenever I play, I know I have the support to help me.
This is something you have to accept in football. Someone will say you are overpriced, but I did not think about it. Maybe I was overpriced, but I believe in my quality and want to get better. If you know what you can do for your team, it becomes no problem, and you don't even think about it.
It was a tough moment for me when I was in Senegal, especially when I was young. I was born in a village, I grew up there, and they don't like football.
When I was three or four, only football was in my head. I went 10 years, and nothing changed - only football, football, football. The strange thing is, nobody played football in my family before.
When I was in school, we would always have running races. I was good at it. Always sprinting. I can run long distance, too.
