My style of play has always been the same. I never tried to develop a specific style. From very young I just played this way.
I never had any problems with my height. I was always the smallest kid, at school and in my teams.
I always thought about carrying on training and working, chasing my dream.
My first memories are from when I was very little, maybe three or four years old playing in my neighbourhood at home. I can picture myself with the ball at my feet from a very young age.
I always had the same style of play. I didn't really worry about people kicking me.

It is not coincidence that at Barcelona we have low-key lifestyles and we have been successful. We know we are football players and not movie stars.
You know as a player that you won’t have many opportunities to play in World Cups - so you have to take them when you can.
