Talent Is Important But It Is Not

But I Hope To Maintain My Credibility After I Stop Playing. Because, Yes Of Course, Now I Play And I Score Goals And Children All Over Are Mad About Me. Not Just Poor Children - All Children. We Can Make Them Really Happy By The Way We Play, Though I Have To Say That It's The Poor Ones That I Think Of Most, The Ones Who Can't Come And Watch The Games At The Stadium. We Mean So Much To Them. That's Why I'm So Committed To This Work. Later, After You've Stopped Playing, It's Harder To Have The Same Impact. But I Will Give It A Go. I Want To Continue Doing This Kind Of Work For Ever.

I Want To Be One Of The Best Players Around In Two Or Three Years Time, To Be A Decisive Footballer.

I'm Ready To Lose My Life If That's What Portugal Needs To Win. I'll Play Vs Usa Even If I Play With One Leg.

My Aim Is To Go Down In History As One Of The Best.

I've Always Had A Sense Of Responsibility, Whether I've Been Captain Or Not. But I Must Say That I'm Both Pleased And Proud To Be Portugal Captain, Despite How Young I Am, Because I Know What It Means. My Job Is Still The Same Though. I Need To Do What I Do Best Out On The Pitch, And That's Score Goals And Help My Team Win.
