I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
I don't think about one trick or the other, they just happen.
When my family isn't alright, I get restless. It just doesn't seem right to me.
Manchester United is still in my heart. Disappointed they didn't win the title but they are still the kings of Premier League.
We've had some great players at this club in my 20 years, but he's up with the best.
I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from.
The number 7 shirt is an honor and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck.
I feel endless need to LEARN, to IMPROVE, to EVOLVE, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel SATISFIED with myself
I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.
I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel satisfied with myself. It is my conviction that here are no limits to learning, and that it can never stop, no matter what our age.
English fans love spectacular players like Alan Shearer and that is exactly what United have now signed. He has magic in his boots. The first thing you notice about him is that he is incredibly quick and very, very powerful for such a young man. He has great, close control and his technique is excellent. He believes he can do anything with the ball, and that confidence makes him very special indeed.
I'm running out of words to describe this lad.
We saw that he plays with his heart too. He obviously loves the game so much and was distraught to lose in the final. Seeing him cry nearly got me going too.
Ronaldo can do whatever he wants as a footballer. There are some things he does with the ball that make me touch my head and wonder how he did it.
