When I was in school, we would always have running races. I was good at it. Always sprinting. I can run long distance, too.
I remember that when I was little, my parents felt that I should study to become a teacher. They thought football was a waste of time and I'd never succeed at it.
I work in the gym; twice a week, I do abdominals. It is very, very important. I do quick sessions, as I don't want to get big.
Liverpool are a massive club with a big history that has won many trophies over the years, and as soon as I was told of the possibility to come here, and I knew the manager wanted me, I said yes.
When I was three or four, only football was in my head. I went 10 years, and nothing changed - only football, football, football. The strange thing is, nobody played football in my family before.
I've kept all of my shirts that wore in the World Cup games, and I'll be giving them to my family to keep.
