"I don't like to watch the Champions League matches because it leaves me a bit annoyed because I know that our team was good enough to remain in the competition and we are not because of our own fault," he said.

"I consider myself to be a winner, I try to always move ahead. I know it is very difficult, nothing in life is easy, if it was easy we would not be born crying."
