“I’m here for five years and maybe more,” he said. “That’s where people may have to be slightly patient and not think that I’m just here for the glitz and the glamour. I’m here to play soccer. I’m not here to play anything else.”

“It needs to be right,” he said. “There’s no point in me coming back and playing in a game — when people are expecting me to play at a high level like I can and I do — and not performing.”

Good for him! I like that he’s aware of the negativity and has a respectful, un-arrogant response.
