“A footballer can have even more problems than other people. Sometimes money and fame can become a problem, too.”
“It's hard as a striker. It's cut and dried. Your job is to put the ball in the back of the net.”
“I will always wish the best to Madrid.”

“What fascinates me about London is its multi-ethnicity, the coexistence of cultures and religions, but I do not see myself living here for very long. It's too big, too much stress, too much of a metropolis.”
