racism people tough
Even if I don't always behave as I should, this still doesn't explain why so many people have something against me. But you know how it is. A lot of people vent themselves by coming to the stadium to yell at me. I hope it's not racism. I tell myself that it's not racism; it's because I'm tough, and I repeat this to myself.
player feelings attention
I know some players like being the centre of attention and I admit that when I first became a player I liked fame, too. But that feeling lasted only for three months. Then I realised what it was really like to be the centre of attention all the time. It isn't all good.
football littles lucky
Mancini is lucky. He has an owner [Sheikh Mansour] who speaks little and asks only: "What do you need?"
winning thinking giving
I turn to someone, I'm not sure, to God I think, but I never ask for anything. I would never pray to win a title; it makes no sense. I've never understood those who pray before a match. I simply give thanks for what I have received.
want temper ifs
When I lose my temper it's because I decide to. If I do something it's because I want to do it.
hate people know-me
People who know me, love me. People who don't know me love me too... or they hate me.
italian one-day proud
Inside me I'm Ghanaian, and I'm proud to be African. But of course I'm Italian. I was born in Italy. I've never been to Africa in my life, but I will go one day.
football winning europe
Sometimes in football you deserve to win but lose. Other times you deserve to lose or draw but you win. That is the game, and it's why I've always said you should never try to predict anything in football, especially in Europe.
responsibility winning too-much
Occasionally, you feel like the only person able to win the match. So you take all the responsibility, you do too much, and you do something bad.
gossip stories use
Many stories are invented about me - too many stories; almost everyone uses me, and I'd say about 0.01 percent of the gossip is true.
dad boys would-be
I would be ready to become a dad if I was with the right person. I'd like a boy, though. Because they're in charge.
player goal world
I want to be the strongest player in the world and score a lot of goals. To do that, I have to improve in every area.
beautiful jobs writing
If I buy a Fiat Uno, I'll read that, for a man like me, a Ferrari was more suitable. If instead I buy a Ferrari, they'll write that I should have kept my feet on the ground and bought a Fiat. If I smile, I'm not serious. If I don't smile, I'm a rich sulker that doesn't enjoy having the most beautiful job in the world.
