"Scoring a goal is like making love."

"I believe in God, and I believe in miracles."

"Once, in a match in Senegal, the goalkeeper cried so much after I scored that he had to be substituted! He had lost a big bet!"

"Football is the only life I know."

"If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world."
