There is no racism in Italy.

I'm sure I will win a title with Inter.

I have spent half of my career at Milan.

Madrid is a club with very high demands.

I wish I could hug all the fans one by one.

My last game, scoring a goal, was incredible.

Football can help carve a more diverse world.

Who doesn't want to work in the Premier League?

The DNA of AC Milan is something I have inside me.

Luck is a factor that a lot of people underestimate.

My humbleness and the work I do each day speak for me.

Good, young players don't compete in China or in Asia.

Celtic fans are some of the greatest supporters I know.

I think I'm outspoken, but I think people respect me for that.

Every player needs to be happy and proud to play for Cameroon.

When I am in Holland, I feel negative feelings. That must change.

The secret in life is to make every obstacle into an opportunity.

What I strive for is that everywhere I go, I leave a positive impact.

I was born a trequartista, and have adapted myself to playing in other roles.

It has been an honour to defend the colours of a historic club like Deportivo.

Who does not talk cannot be judged. Who does not shoot the penalty cannot miss.

There's no guarantee of winning, even if you are the best players and the best team.

Everyone dreams of playing for Madrid, but we all know that it can be life or death.

Everyone dreams of winning a European Cup final, and I was lucky to do it at just 19.

I have the quality and the experience and can give that little bit extra to the squad.

I played over 130 matches, including four finals, so there have been many great moments.

When I make criticism, it's constructive. It's not right only to focus on the negatives.

When the results start to come your way, the confidence rises, and we start to play better.

When we're playing, I really shape my body to receive the ball - even before it gets to me.

To make a difference within the football environment means to make a difference in the world.

When you play against Barcelona and other great teams in the world, you can lose. It happens.

Companies and football teams have become successful precisely because of how diverse they are.

I am very satisfied with what I've done in my career and with what I managed to do with Botafogo.

I am aware of my own position and my responsibilities to youngsters watching us. You are a role model.

Coming back to AC Milan was like I'd never been away, actually: you know everybody; everybody knows you.

I had a great time with Botafogo, and I am sure they will acquit themselves very well in the Libertadores.

I think about Milan from morning to night, and there is certainly no lack of effort and desire on my part.

Winning the Champions League is a very particular feeling, but it's really the journey that makes it special.

I would love to play in the Premier League; which player wouldn't? I am happy at AC Milan, but never say never.

Rijkaard was my idol, but we have different qualities, even if at the beginning we played in the same position.

I believe in a European League. I would like to see more quality in the game, and fewer games mean more quality.

For me, winning isn't just about lifting the cup, the trophy - it's about giving your maximum, on and off the pitch.

The best players want to play for the best clubs in Europe and appear in top competitions like the Champions League.

If you are lucky, you go to a team like Porto to mature. And if things don't go well for you, others take your place.

I'm on a mission partly to make a difference in the world for the better, starting with the kids. They are the future.

As a player, I've always been interested in understanding the coaches' minds, in seeing how they made a group function.

Real Madrid has a lot of high expectations, not only in terms of results but also with nice football and a lot of goals.

Managers lose more than they win until they get to the big 10 clubs; then, they start winning a bit more than they lose.

If I was happy with three trophies, then suddenly I had to have four. If I was happy with four, then I had to have five.

If a club has the cups it has, you have to think that Real Madrid is always capable of reaching the final and winning it.
