Education is the key solution for change, for peace, and for help in the fight against racism and discrimination in general.
Clarence Seedorf
The secret in life is to make every obstacle into an opportunity.
Every player needs to be happy and proud to play for Cameroon.
The DNA of AC Milan is something I have inside me.
I think that you cannot have everything in life, and sometimes you just - destiny wants you to take another path.
Coming back to AC Milan was like I'd never been away, actually: you know everybody; everybody knows you.
Humanitarian work is something I've felt from very young, and I'm going to do that for sure.
My humbleness and the work I do each day speak for me.
Unfortunately, results are the only thing that some people look at, but there is more to defining success than just stats.
I would love to play in the Premier League; which player wouldn't? I am happy at AC Milan, but never say never.
When you play against Barcelona and other great teams in the world, you can lose. It happens.
There's no guarantee of winning, even if you are the best players and the best team.
Who doesn't want to work in the Premier League?
When I make criticism, it's constructive. It's not right only to focus on the negatives.
If I was happy with three trophies, then suddenly I had to have four. If I was happy with four, then I had to have five.
For me, winning isn't just about lifting the cup, the trophy - it's about giving your maximum, on and off the pitch.
I'm not Zidane and not Rui Costa, but I have qualities - I can create assists - but I have to step up a level to become like those two.
Globalisation has changed the world, and football is the perfect instrument to set an example and to help adapt to this new world.
What I strive for is that everywhere I go, I leave a positive impact.
I have spent half of my career at Milan.
People don't come to the stadiums for every match because if there is a game every three days, it is difficult. You need to make games more exclusive and make them more special.
I have been fortunate to work with many great coaches and also in different countries, and I have taken a bit from all of them - Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian football.
I wish I could hug all the fans one by one.
When we're playing, I really shape my body to receive the ball - even before it gets to me.
If a club has the cups it has, you have to think that Real Madrid is always capable of reaching the final and winning it.
Rijkaard was my idol, but we have different qualities, even if at the beginning we played in the same position.
I think about Milan from morning to night, and there is certainly no lack of effort and desire on my part.
Many times, my role was to work as a link between the coaches and the players; it was to be a leader. That was something natural for me.
When the results start to come your way, the confidence rises, and we start to play better.
If I could have played on another five years, I would have stayed here because Botafogo have a young, competitive team. We've improved not only technically but also as a team. Even after me, Botafogo will remain great.
You cannot leave the pressure and responsibility on young people in general. Young people must enter a safe and protected environment to be able to pass and fail so, little by little, they can adapt.
All the games we play are worth the same because we can aim to get points in the league. Milan wants to fight until the end in the league and wants to compete with everyone until the last match day.
Managers lose more than they win until they get to the big 10 clubs; then, they start winning a bit more than they lose.
When you have ambition, then it's never enough to win.
I think I'm outspoken, but I think people respect me for that.
Who does not talk cannot be judged. Who does not shoot the penalty cannot miss.
Every time you win a cup, it's special, but it's a dream come true when it happens at a club where you started in the youth set-up, surrounded by friends who formed an incredible generation of players.
I played over 130 matches, including four finals, so there have been many great moments.
Winning the Champions League is a very particular feeling, but it's really the journey that makes it special.
I think that there's still a lot of prejudice going on. I don't really think it's only an issue of football. I think football is a mirror of society.
When I went to AC Milan, they were four points away from the relegation zone, and by the end of the season, we were just one goal away from being in the Europa League.
I am a winner - and I like to win - but I cannot think that, if I lose, I did not do a good job, because there are other external factors involved.
Of course African teams are underachieving when you think of what their potential is.
Good, young players don't compete in China or in Asia.
Players must understand that if they go after more lucrative contracts, then they forfeit their chances of playing in the national team.
We try to bring in the best players for Cameroon: not just best in terms of talent but those who are motivated and who know what it means to play for this nation.
Football can help carve a more diverse world.
Companies and football teams have become successful precisely because of how diverse they are.
We need to educate young people, give them the possibility to understand that the diversity is positive, to feel and experience it, so that they can then join forces in promoting more diverse world.
Football is not just what you do on the field.
