Unai is very calm, composed and extremely detailed in what he expects. From Monday through to Friday, every single training session is very carefully planned.

I think it's important to learn about the culture of the place where you live.
I have a house with its own dock and I can take my boat out when I want.
I was an underwear model for Calvin Klein for a few years. It is not something I wanted to do at first. I never regretted it, but I am a shy person, and to stand there buck naked in front of a camera was scary.
For me, happy footballers play the best football.
It takes time to know what makes an individual player tick.
As a child I could lie in bed and do absolutely nothing for hours but once I decided to do something, big or small, I could not stop until it had been completed.
I played as a 10 and, in Sweden, they let me take as many touches as I could. All of a sudden, I come to Arsenal and I have to play one and two touches - it was a little bit alien to me.
When friends come over from Europe, they think it's going to be rainy in Seattle but it's beautiful. It's a hidden pearl. And people here respect your private life.
I played team handball when I was a child. It is a very brutal sport.
Where I am from in Sweden was on the beach, so I love the sound of the water hitting the dock.
I like entertaining football but, at the same time, you can't concede goals. That's a tricky balance to find.
Real Madrid's Bernabeu was an amazing stadium to play in. It was just on top of you, and such a big stadium.
I am not particularly disciplined, but I am stubborn like few.
Where I came from had a lot of friends. A big social circle.
Some people thought I was crazy when I quit Europe to go to the U.S., but for me the quality of life and the place I live is important.
I am not a big gym fan.
What I say in the dressing room always stays there.
I made a conscious decision when I was about 30 that I wanted to do something different with my life. I felt a little bit lost and didn't trust people, so I decided to move to America.
I played against Ashley Cole all the time in training. For me, he is the best left-back in the world. He was the hardest opponent and I had him every day in training.
