“Don't judge me on my YouTube highlights, judge me when I start playing.”
“We know what the fans demand of us, but it doesn't concern me overly. I'm just going to focus on playing.”
“As a kid, a ball was always by my feet. I didn't have any other passion. It was only football, and the sacrifices made have allowed me to reach where I am today.”
“I just love the game so much and I want to be involved all over the place - I want to be everywhere. I'm like one of the kids in the playground who is just chasing the ball all over the place.”
“A player has to adapt to the style of the game.”

“I like the Premier League and I think they play a beautiful and competitive style of soccer.”
“I think that the interest from Newcastle was the firmest interest, and their position was the most concrete position I was aware of. As soon as you realise Rafa Benitez, with his career and experience, is interested in you, it's a decisive factor in that.”

“I think for some time now the MLS has been improving. Every year you see more and more quality players come in.”
“If I stay in Atlanta I will be happy because the fans make me feel really comfortable.”
