I learned all about life with a ball at my feet
God gives gifts to everyone, some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.
Football is about joy. It's about dribbling. I favour every idea that makes the game beautiful. Every good idea has to last.
I have the chance to do for a living what I like the most in life, and that's playing football. I can make people happy and enjoy myself at the same time.
Football is a great love because I was born into a family of players and therefore born into football. I'm fortunate to have a style of play that a lot of people like. It's a privilege to be able to do what I like best and in my own way, but I'm fortunate that people like it, and that motivates me even more.
I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn't been a footballer, I would have been a musician.
