I am a Libra so I have to balance things.

Leading my country out at the World Cup was something I'll never forget.

For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.

I wouldn't be bothered if we lost every game, as long as we won the league.

The UEFA Cup is now what we focus on. It's a huge game for us in Rome and it's all to play for.

I had plenty of offers to do sponsorships and TV commercials, but it's just not in me. I would love to get that out of me, but I just don't feel comfortable with it.

I have this complex. I don't like too much exposure. I don't know why it is. Maybe it's bred in me, because my dad always told me to be humble and don't think you're too good.

I don't really like being emotional. Public displays of emotion, I don't really do that sort of stuff. I don't know why. I would like to be the type that doesn't worry about that.

All my life my priority was football, football, football. I was just fully focused on that and when my kids were born that focus changed gradually. I had something in my life that changed my perspective. You experience something that is more important than win, lose or draw.
