This has not changed. I did not change. I am the same person and the same professional as I have been for the past 20 years playing elite football, and respect has always played a very important role in my decision-making process. I started at a very young age, the examples of older and more experienced players have always been very important to me. Therefore, later, I always tried to set an example for the young people who grew up in all the teams that I represented. Unfortunately, this is not always possible and sometimes the heat of the moment prevails.“
