I started out playing football in the streets, playing barefoot like all the boys there - we didn't have the money for football boots.

Every one of my team-mates and every one working in the club wants to make things better. I'd like ask the public, the people who come to the games, to trust that we are working hard to improve. They shouldn't doubt things will get better if we all stay together.

When I was eight, I went into a football school in my neighbourhood, and we played five a side on a little court.
