I think I'm pretty misunderstood, because I'm not just about football.

As a footballer, you just have to try to learn what you've done bad and what I could do good.

I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years.

I've been through a lot off the field. I think that kind of translates onto the field. Football serves for a lot of life lessons, and so it allows me to stay humble and continue to work.

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

I've learned a lot from my mistakes, stumbles, and losses in football.

Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

I deal with football from a realistic, logical point of view.
