All my life, since the time I was little, has been a long distraction. At least that is the way some people want to perceive it, but for me, it's given me a lot of strength.
I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time.
You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.
I don't just want to focus on soccer, soccer, soccer.
No one wants to lose, period. It should hurt, it should sting, and you don't want to feel that feeling again.
My personal life is in the spotlight, but people say what they want to say. The truth isn't in the spotlight, I should say. I'm in the spotlight, but not the truth.
I am pushed by my critics. I don't want to say I want to prove them wrong, but it pushes me on the field to play with a chip on my shoulder, and I play best when I have a chip on my shoulder.
