“When I'm sitting on the bench, I try to help the players who are out on the pitch.”

“I did almost everything in my footballing career.”

“I'm proud of my long career but playing in the World Cup is something special for any player. There is no limit to my ambition and I have always been determined to achieve that objective.”

“The school-room sends men to the Legislature, to the bench, and the executive office. The bar-room sends them to the scaffold and hell.”

“Of course, it's hard when you are sitting on the bench and the team is playing well and you don't see yourself playing. But football changes very quickly and you have to make the most of it while you are playing.”

“Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.”
