"I have read several articles damaging my reputation. I know I've had bad games, I'm aware of it. I'm not hiding, and I face the criticism head-on. I'm truly sad. People can say many things about me, but under no circumstances can they say that I refuse to play. I have given everything and more for this club, I've played while fractured, injured, and I've never complained or asked for a break."
"I have a good relationship with the coach, which makes me feel confident enough to tell him which position I prefer on the pitch, but I always, always made it clear that I'm available to perform anywhere, on any trip, and in every game. I've left my heart and soul in this club and I will continue to do so, even if sometimes it's not enough or I'm not playing as I'd like."
