Money is important, but the most important thing for me is to play football, and then I'm happy. OK, you want to earn a good amount of money to be secure, but if I chose money, I would go to Russia and already have a lot more. I like to play football, and that is it.

I always like to assist more than scoring: it gives me another feeling; I cannot explain it.

A life of anybody is not perfect; there is always things that happen, and that is what makes it interesting.

It is a big title to win, but in the Champions League, you don't need to have the consistency that you need in the league.

If you do an outside spin with the ball, it's more difficult to control it, so I try to pass it in a way that allows them to take the ball quicker in their path. That way, they may have more of an advantage to score or create themselves.

When you score, it's a great feeling, but to give a great pass means it's something special for me. It's very under-rated what we do.
