I have practically no private life. I’m already used to this and ready for it. Yes, sometimes it is hard, but it is the choice I made.
I have two Golden Boot awards at home. It would be nice to win another, but I wouldn’t mind it if I didn’t.
We saw that he plays with his heart too. He obviously loves the game so much and was distraught to lose in the final. Seeing him cry nearly got me going too.
If we can’t help our family, who are we going to help?
I feel bad only when I play badly. Fortunately, that happens rarely.
For me Sir Alex was my father in football. He was crucial in my career and, outside football, was a great human being with me. Talent isn’t everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best.
I don’t like being alone.
Why lie? I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.
It’s not a problem. In four or five days I will be beautiful once again.
I am always motivated. I am ambitious and I want to always improve.
There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
I never promise anything. I don’t promise anything to my mum. I don’t promise anything to the supporters.
People are going to think I’m crazy.
It’s very important for me to be distinguished in my own home.
I miss Manchester, especially the apple crumble and custard they served at Carrington after training.
If I can have the chance to be the best ever, then that would be perfect.
I’ve always dreamed of winning the Champions League with Real Madrid and we are only one step away from winning it.
There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.
I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.
I want to be one of the best players around in two or three years time, to be a decisive footballer.
