When people show love towards me I consider it a privilege. Being a professional footballer is something that as a child, in a difficult family situation, I could only imagine.
There was no electricity at home, a friend lent us food so we could eat. And I went to sell newspapers and water on the street to help my family."
"I lost my mother a while ago, my father in 2020.
But I know they are both proud of me.
