I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a manager would be my first choice.

When I was about 16, I got my ball taken off me by the police for playing in the street - which is pathetic really.

Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter. It's constant and harsh sometimes.

Becoming a dad was the proudest moment of my life. Playing football does not even compare.

Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.

It's strange but I suppose I'm one of those senior players now and I'll be helping the young players as much as I can.

Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.

I've started doing my coaching badges, I'd like to be a manager one day.

If you're not scoring the frustrations build up.

I love playing football but I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning.

If you don't score, and you have chances, you are disappointed.

I'm just a normal young lad who plays football.

Ronaldinho is total class - a very, very great player. He is quick, powerful, and has extraordinary technical qualities. He is a dribbler but is also a player who can make the play for his teammates. He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.

Football boots are very technical and have lots of specific requirements.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.

I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.
