I get up in the morning and I go to practice like everyone else.

With Ronaldo in the league, people will be passionate again about Serie A.

I am happy, and I am living the life I always dreamed of.

I’m not going to revolutionise football. I’m in a system. You have to know how to respect it and to stay in place.

I try to work to improve myself every day and I try to do on the pitch what I do during the training sessions.

Learning is fine, but you also have to win – you only have one career.

In football, everything is possible, from the moment you work and you believe in your qualities.

A great team relies on its leaders and they have to make a difference at key moments.

We must stop feeling fear.

You can’t sit around and do nothing, you have to carry on.

I am going to be a professional soccer player.

You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few proms offers from 18-year-old boys.

I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
