There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
