“Life as a professional footballer is very cool, no doubt. You can chill and enjoy life, but, after training, there’s nothing to do. For me, because I don’t have a family and my girlfriend is not living with me, I’m by myself. It’s a little bit worrying not having something to do and especially when all your friends have work. I probably have like five friends. I’m a popular loser”, he said.
