The World Motivation
I'm not too complicated. I don't think I'm great on the eye. I work hard. I try to outwork defenders, and that's it.

I got a lot of unwanted attention when I was young. I'd be at a tournament at age 9 and there'd be loads of people around me. It always made me feel funny.
There are strikers all over the world who wouldn't get the goals if they didn't have a creative midfielder or someone that enjoys making assists.
In England, your manager is like a boss.
Wenger is a legend for Arsenal. He changed the game in England and he changed how Arsenal look.
The manager might like it sometimes when I play up front because I can cause trouble for the defenders, but for me, my best position is defensive midfield, stopping the opposition, and then looking to impose myself on a game.
And I have a message for the liberals and the defenders of the status quo: we're just getting started.
The great untruth around which everything pivots is the idea that the defenders of these statues are the defenders of history and truth; while those who want to see them toppled or contextualised are the Huns at the gate, who would destroy national histories and bring down great men.
I believe that I'm one of the best defenders in this league; I take a lot of pride in that.
