  Speaker 1: Why we don't believe that we can do it better.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: We have to believe. You have to be positive to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: try to change the things. This is why we're not
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: going to give up. You know, they only give up
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to the guys who is weak mentally. Well. I remember
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: when I was eighteen nineteen twenty, some old players speak
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with me, but I put that as Christian, we have
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to improve. They know more than you. They are more
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: experens than you. They passed through many bad moments. But
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the other people they don't accept that. If you criticize it,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I don't say this generation our players, but in general
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I have kids. I know sometimes when you be a
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: little bit harder, they do the opposite. You have to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: find the right balance to speak with them. But in
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: my opinion, the main point is they should come in
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: from inside you. You should be proud of yourself and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror and say, listen, I give everything.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And I think all of us we should do that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Because new year, we change the page. We have many
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: things to win. We have to believe on that. If not,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it will be a nightmare. I'm always speaking with my
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: friends and we have a shot about football, the games,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and they all speak about the system, but the system
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: is useful if the mentality.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's not there in the pitch.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: This is why I say we have a long way
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to improve, because for me, the most important things is
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for you to look yourself and say I can do
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: it better. I can help the team much more. The
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: system is important, yes, it's important. Everything is important, the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: small details making each difference in the end of the day.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But for me, the most important thing is the mentality
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to be the best, to train hard, to listen to all.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: The players, experienced players.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But what is the key to get better at reably,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm always saying it's all packaged. You know, the ethic
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of work. You have to put in your mind, ethic
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of work when you are professional.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: So since day.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: One, when I start with the let's say with sixteen
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, I'm always epic to be the best, to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: train hard, to listen to all the players, experienced players,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and of course my dream coming true. I was professional
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: at playing the best clubs in the worlds. I want
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the most important trophies, so I'm glad to be in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this position. But of course this is not coming from
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the sky or I dedicate myself and I'm working hard,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and this is why the goals and all the achievements
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that I get coming from dedication and artwork impossible. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: think it's the main point for me. The most important
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: thing is the mentality for you to be professional, help
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the team, the right mentality, self talk, positive. I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it's all the details depend on you, not the coaches,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the fans, the press depends on you. If you are
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: proud of yourself and you have some dignity, I think
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you have to do it much more. All my life,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: what I did and what I do, it's because I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have passions if I will be the third. For me,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter in my job, yes, yes, in my job,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: yes I want to be the number one. I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I am good. But I think my man strength it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: my mind. I think it's my strongest point. It's my mind.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Piers. The numbers that don't like.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: If you see during the last fifteen years, my level
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is always kind of the same. So effort, dedication, work hard,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: because the talent is not enough anymore. And if you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not dedicated hundred percent, you're not going to reach the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: level that you want. I want him to suffer a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: little bit to which what you want to be. Talent
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is not enough. You have to I dedicate myself so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: much that this is part of me. Records is part
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: of me. I don't follow the records. The records follow me.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Which is different. Are you addicted to winning, Yes, I am.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm addicted to the sisss because that's the thing that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: really drives. Yes, I think so. And I think it's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: not something bad.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's good.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It motivate me. If something that motivated, it's better. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to stop. You understand, one of the best players in history,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: one of the best, depends on the taste of the people.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I cannot control what the people like. Some people like
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this player or that player. I'm sure I'm in instead
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of football what I did when I continue to do.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: But one of the best players in history. For me,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the number one in history, but for some fans the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: number one, for that other one, the second doesn't matter. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: know I'm in instead of football, one of the greatest ever.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And it's the key, not only the players, but all
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the stuff coaches, physios, doctors, players. You know, this is
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a squad. This is like a second family for all
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of us. So we have to be together. We are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the same boat. We know that we are not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in the best moment, but I believe that with the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: working hard, we can achieve important things, even this year.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: This is why they call this club and just said united,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: so we have to be united in the difficult moment.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm a different person. I'm a different player, but the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ambition is still the same. I want to play and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I help the team. I still believe that we are
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: capable to do it a good season in new year.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You have to implant that in your mind that we
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are capable to change things now. I always feeling from
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the beginning that I was different than other ones. I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: always competitive player and just in the games, I'm a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: nutraium like that, and your home with my sister, my mom,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with my nephews. I'm always try to competit your hard
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and try to win. I'm like that. I never changed
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and because I like what I do, I like my life.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a happy person.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: You're probably the most famous footballer in the world.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: In my mind, I'm always the best.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: In my mind, not just this year, but always, I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: always the best. It's not about the money, It's about
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the passion. Do you have to work I try to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: do it almost every day. This is why I'm in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a top level many many years because I do it
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: extra outside the pitch, because I really like to put
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: myself in a freshion to see what I can do,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: keep board art, dedicate myself under percent. This is what
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I love to do as to play football. I still
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I am capable to play more ears try to be
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the best. Like always, I always say that every time
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: this is my goal. I'm still fit, still young, I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: still with the power, so.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: This is what I like. I want more and more.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I still have many.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Years to play football and I want to win more.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I just try to do my best every season, to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: work hard and better and my job.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But I have to say to be in my shoes
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: is not easy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I always onto in an always competitive person, so it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: part of me. I'm always thinking when I take that decision,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I will be a professional player or will be something
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in football. I won't cry almost every day to miss
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: my family, but I'm not regret because it was probably
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the more intense moments in my life that I live
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: true without sacrifice with nothing. So I did an unbelievable
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: sacrifice my family too. I feel happy all this happened
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: because there isn the I'm unbelievable inside the pitch. This
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: is why the people are so much interesting on me.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Are you the best footballer in the world right now?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I think so yes. To mention one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It hard, but you know the level that I am.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: The talent is part of me. But if you don't
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: work the talent, you're never going to achieve that things
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that I'm achieved. So I try to do my things
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to improve myself in a training, specifically in the games,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: because this is the most important thing. So I always
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: try to improve something with season by season.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Our mind, it's a box of surprises and you have
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to challenge yourself to be consistent. I repeat. Sometimes it's hard.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: It's what many people say, you like to go to
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the gym every day.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Of course, now it's not true.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Nobody liked to go to the gym every day. But
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you have to do it. Your mental strength is coming
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: from that, from that moment that, in a hard moment,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you know you should do it, so and I do
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it because after that, maybe in the beginning you feel
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: hard to start, but after when you finish the gym
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: or called blanch or even the training, you will feel better.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: We all saw the huge potential that he had and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: he came over and his first for was to entertain
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and we wanted to win, and we knew it. With
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: him in our team, if he had end putuct, we
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: had a far better chance of being successful.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: We are not happy every day. We are, you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: not in a good mood every day. It's normal. It's
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: part of us. I fight against that. It's the big
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: challenge is when you're not willing to do something, but
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you have to do it. This is the main point.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: We failed so many times.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: We have so many uncertainty in our life that we
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: have to be capable when we are down to step up.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: It's part of the journey, it's part of the process,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it's part of our education. In my case, I learned
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the most when I'm down, and it's good that certain
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: moments happened, because when you are in the top of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the wave, you don't see under what's going on.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I'm always said to my.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Friends, it's good to have problems. It's the only way
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that you can improve. The theory is dedication and artwork.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You know, to be able to walk one hundred percent
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: This if exists words.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: This is my secret, is a legend. It is one
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: of these big names that stays forever in football history.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: But the guy wants, he motivates in self with numbers,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: with new scenes. He wants to win the gold Ball
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: x times and the Golden Booth x times, and he
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: wants to not just to play these uros. Is already
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: thinking that he wants to play the next World Cup.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It's like in other sports, Formula one, NBA, the best
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: players always followed the best players. They want to be
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in the top of the game because the other ones
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they are there. You know, you cannot rest or sleep
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: because the other one can pass you. Of course we
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: fight with everyone, with Neymar with masci with Lewandowski, with
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: iguay In, you know, with the top of the best
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: players in the world. So I mean this is not fighting,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but it's hard. It's healthy, you know, corporations is healthy
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and we fight, you know, to be the best. This
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is why it's my main point. It's my motivation. It's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to be better than them. Here after here while there's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: dedication and artwork, this is my words to dedicate myself
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: hundred percent every time to be the position that I
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: am today. Is not one year, it's ten years, twelve years.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You know, to maintain my level, you have to dedicate
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: yourself undred percent. It doesn't mean that many hours you're training,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: but the way you're training, your dedication. You can even
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: training only one hour, but you give everything for that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to achieve your goals. So this is why I try
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to do it any trainings in games, try to be
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: better and better and my job and for the last
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: seven eight years, I think I maintained my level in
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the same way. So this has make me feel proud
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and I will continue to work hard to maintain that level.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Don't exist secret here.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: The secrets don't exist.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Exist hard work, dedication, be obsessed to be something in
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a life and follow their dreams. I think if you
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: want to be a football player, or if you want
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to be engineering, whatever you want to be, dedicate yourself
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you know, work hard, you know, and believe in you.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I think this is the main words, not just a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: kid you want to be a Christiano Ronaldo, but anything
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it can be in know, work, cards. I think it's
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the main work and the dream to believe in that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: everything is possible in a life.
