"I don't play football just because I like it.
"I play because I've got an ambition to always win and be the best - to win every trophy and competition I'm part of.
"I'll be happy when I win the Champions League, the World Cup and the European Championship. That is every footballer's ambition.
"To finish my career and be able to say I did a good job overall, and say I was handsomely rewarded for it. That's it.
"I have mixed feelings about all the attention. There was once a time when it was good to be unknown. When nobody knew who I was, I always used to ask myself and my mates `when am I going to be famous? When are people going to start asking for my autograph?' Now people do know who I am, I ask why I became so famous.
"But it's gratifying and important. It means people like my work and admire me as a player, so it's obvious there are good and bad things but I'm a footballer and I'm prepared for it."
