bad girlfriend met people steered
When I was a kid, there were some people around me who were a bad influence. When I met my girlfriend Sofia, who is now my wife, I think it all changed. She was very important for me, because she steered me back on to the path I wanted to be on.
bad player
Every soccer player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those.
bad believe dealing help path people
I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.
bad based guy people pitch says
My wife says that if people reach conclusions as to what I am like based on what they see from me on the pitch they would say I am a guy who is always annoyed, always in a bad mood, they'd say what must it be like to live with me. There are two of me, two different people.
club given lived money players playing
When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.
When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.
argue proud ran red sent shown
When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.

Barcelona are always a candidate to win the Champions League.
clubs great
At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.

I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.

'Negro' can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I've been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life.
football obsessed since
I've been obsessed by football since I was young.
anyone asked bigger change jobs move
I was asked a question: 'Would I want to play for Madrid?' It's like anyone asked if they want to change jobs and move to a bigger company.
children
I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.
