Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the fame in the right manner.

Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.

Lippi has not made his decision yet.

I feel bad and I'm going home.

We will have to wait and see what happens.

I even scored Monaco's goal too. Please, put it down as an own goal for me!

It's always hard to be left out.

I'm the leading scorer in the cup, and that's lovely, but don't forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can't ask for more.
