00:00I just want to enjoy football. I want to give my best for the team, like the coach was saying every single day in training.
00:08I want to bring high standards, professionalism and all my experience and knowledge in the game and of course I want to bring good football.
00:18I love to play this game and I'm still hungry to play. I feel good so hopefully we can enjoy it together.
00:25I've seen the fans this morning and I can't wait for them to celebrate something, hopefully in the first game of the season, which I know is a big one.
00:36It feels like a new motivation for me. Of course it's a different stage in my career and I always love to use football in these last years to get to know the world, to get to know experience and I think it makes me a better player.
00:51I've been in different countries after being in England for so long. I went to Istanbul to play for Galatasaray, then to Japan, now here in Australia and it not only made me a better player but also a better human.
01:04I think it opens your mind to travel around the world and still keep hunger for this sport so I'm really looking forward to this new challenge and I take it as if it was my first challenge in my career. That's the way I set my mind.
