“It's true that moving out of that fairly difficult environment, how we lived, which wasn't easy, can be seen as a success. And it's a good thing.”

“I think the consistency in my performances, my ability to adapt to different coaches, systems or competitions work in my favour.”

“It's a child's dream to win against big players, big teams like Manchester United.”

“In modern football, you need to make decisions quickly and play fast.”

“Every day is different. You always have to keep the faith and the ambition to realise your dreams.”

“I dream of playing at the highest level, in the biggest clubs in the world and being next to world class players.”

“We know it's not easy against Manchester United, especially at Old Trafford.”

“The only thing I have in mind is that no-one can stop me setting myself objectives.”

“It's great to look back at when we used to play in the neighbourhood, seeing mum shouting and also how we grew up playing in football tournaments between the estates. We'd go to another estate and play them. Also, seeing yourself progress bit by bit - those are all happy memories.”

“I had a pretty difficult childhood.”

“It's complicated, but it's part of life - play, be a substitute, wait for your time.”

“Sometimes patience pays. That's what I always thought.”

“Spain is another world. It's not the same as Ligue 1.”

“In futsal, I picked up specific technical skills.”

“Never stop believing. Even when things aren't going well, you have to keep believing that you'll make it.”

“Everything is possible.”

“The interest in it is growing, and I think seeing players like me succeed in Ligue 1 is proof to futsal players that it is possible. It proves that there is more than one route to take, and more players are getting noticed due to their high skill levels.”

“Whether I start the game or not, the important thing is to play collectively and help the team out.”

“I've always believed in my own success, I've always given myself the best chance to achieve that and I think the key is to have faith.”

“I always closed my mouth and worked.”
