I don't like to criticise referees because I believe it is a very complicated job, and what they do is very beneficial for football.

At the World Cup, most teams changed their style when they played us and maybe were more defensive. In the final, we didn't know if Holland were going to do the same, but the important thing was we beat them in the end.

I would like to praise all of my coaches, from Pep to the first I had as a kid, because all of them have helped make me who I am.

Football was much, much more than I hoped it would be. If I dreamed as a kid, I could never have foreseen such amazing things.
