"I am trying to be a better person and a better player and I am being with quality players every day.
"I don't want to talk about that. I just want to enjoy and give everything for this shirt.
"As a football player you need to keep your mind on the pitch, that's all that matters.
"Bureaucratic things are for others, please just let me enjoy my football.”
