~ You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them.
~ My work ethic is something that I thought would help the team.
~ As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes.
~ You can be the one - in - a - million. Don’t be discouraged by the odds to Succeed.

I don't miss a single [Milan] game, and I don't understand those that say that Calcio is in difficulty. It's so competitive and complete.
