Obviously I stopped playing football eight months ago, now I have a different life, I accepted to stop playing football which was a difficult thing because of my ego, because of what I think of myself. I think I’m the best, I’m still the best, I could continue… but I chose to stop. Why? I want a good life for my family children, if I had continued I wouldn’t have been able to do things with my children because I had knee problems. So I accepted it, I came to a point where I said ‘okay, let it go and start a new chapter in your life. life'”.

How do you live with your family?
“My wife always tells me ‘remember who took care of you before you started taking care of the family’. She gave up her career for me. She accompanied me in everything she did, she gave me everything and she gave up everything for me.

People may think we are a family living a luxurious life, but she washes and cooks. The only help we have is a cleaner. I take the children to school, I pick them up from training normal family and that’s how we chose the whole school (in Beverly Hills), only my children rode bicycles. The other families had nannies who accompanied and picked up the children, or a driver we are”.
