00:00How many languages do you actually speak?
00:02I speak eight.
00:03Eight?
00:04Eight, learning.
00:05And I try to learn because I was a physio, Antonio's Portuguese.
00:10So sometimes he was talking only Portuguese to me
00:12and I gave the answers right in Spanish.
00:14So maybe the nine was coming.
00:18Is it something that's always been...
00:20Do you have to work hard to learn languages
00:22or is it something that comes quite naturally to you?
00:25Sometimes I just wake up and start to talk.
00:30I think it's thanks to football.
00:32I travel a lot.
00:35Since I was 16, 17 years, I was out of my country, you know?
00:39So you need to survive, you need to talk, you need to...
00:44If you want to play, because if you go another country,
00:46you don't adapt fast.
00:47You know, you're also on the bench, on the stands always.
00:50So when you want to play, you do everything for that.
00:53And you know, sometimes it's the dialect,
00:54sometimes it's more like the cold,
00:56and other times it's the pitch.
00:58So you need to adapt for everything.
01:00So I think it's a little bit easy for me
01:04because you get the, you know,
01:06like I know at the beginning is the listening
01:08after the speaking and all the stuff.
01:10So it's been easy now.
01:12Yeah. Which languages do you speak then?
01:15Europe is like Spanish, Catalan, French, English, Italian.
01:22That's from Europe.
01:23And after Africa, Jahanke, Pular and Mandinka.
01:27It's very impressive, man.
01:29Portuguese.
01:30Yeah, I'm coming.
01:32A lot of people speak to you,
01:34sorry, spoken about the positivity
01:36that you bring to the group.
01:37They say you're sort of a very positive person.
01:39I wondered, is that something that you've developed
01:42as you've got older or have you always
01:44just been a positive guy?
01:46No, I always be a positive guy.
01:48I never spend my time thinking negative.
01:50You know, I think the life show me that,
01:53you know, since I was a kid,
01:55I live hard situations, you know.
01:57Family stuff and everything.
01:59And that's that made me grow early.
02:02And always I know I need to think positive
02:05because if not, you'll be always in behind.
02:07You know, I think someone can stay
02:10always thinking negative things
02:11because that's what you get in the future.
02:15You know, so I think I invest all my time
02:18in positive things.
02:19Doesn't matter how it was.
02:20Sometimes you can play a bad game.
02:24I go home and I was thinking about that game.
02:26What I can learn, I know I play.
02:29I don't play in the level
02:30what the people were expecting.
02:31Also me, you know, you can be
02:33disappointed about yourself.
02:35But I can lose my time thinking,
02:38oh, I'm sad or this, that.
02:40No, I'm not like this.
02:42It's like, I know the first thing
02:43what I do always is accept the situation
02:46that I got.
02:47And after that, try to do best I can.
02:50I think that's the way I try to say
02:53to my teammates, you know.
02:55Sometimes in training, you can lose a game,
02:57but be positive.
02:59Be positive.
03:00The winning is the next one.
03:02You know, go to the next one.
03:03Go to the Monday next training.
03:05200%, you know, because the three points
03:08start on Monday.
03:09If you give everything on Monday
03:10and Tuesday and Wednesday,
03:11doesn't matter how many training we do.
03:14You go to the game more positive
03:16to win that game.
03:18If you know you give your 50%
03:21in every training,
03:22what do you expect in the game?
03:24To win.
03:25I think the other players
03:26doing 1000% every training.
03:27If you go there with 50%,
03:29they beat you, you know.
03:30So that's my mentality.
03:32All the situation,
03:33what I live in my life,
03:34I always go with this.
03:37I think everyone knows
03:38where I'm coming from,
03:40you know, before to be
03:41in the championship again.
03:43And that's positive mentality
03:45keeps me to come back
03:46in the championship strong.
