"We know that I'm listed below to play soccer-- I seem like I'm incredibly professional where I can be found in as well as perform my task," he claimed. "All that stuff goes on in the media, thus (I) permit it sit to the side, and also just as long as I'm turning up as well as getting the best away from myself, our experts get on the very same webpage."
