thinking games two
There are some casual fans who think you're going to dominate a game, be magic, score 10 goals. Even if you dominate a game, you'll only score two or three goals.
player thinking games
It's frustrating at times when you think you've earned a chance to play on the field and you're over there sitting on the bench. That's not the kind of player I am. I'm the kind of player who wants to be out there on the field and needs to contribute every minute of every game.
thinking would-be being-the-best
This is unbelievable to me. I always wanted to be famous, be the best, but I didn't think it would be like this.
thinking everything-happens-for-a-reason made
I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.
best biggest clubs europe leagues top
It's one of the best leagues in Europe in football. Benfica in my opinion is one of the top 10 biggest clubs in the world.
honestly keeps
I honestly didn't expect this much attention, but it just keeps happening so I must be doing something right.
time
I don't want to be one of those guys where I go there and wait a long time before I become a starter.
asking guys looking older step youngest
I've always been one of the youngest guys on the team. But now I'm one of the older guys, one of the more experienced guys, and I have to be more of a leader. The guys are looking up to me, asking me questions and looking at me to step up.
anyone contrary everywhere
Obviously, I'm at the beginning of my career, contrary to what anyone else thinks. I'm 19 years old. In any other country, everywhere else, you're a prospect. And that's what I am right now in Europe. I'm a prospect. I'm not a seasoned veteran.
attacking gonna third
When you get into the game you've got be thinking, when I get into the attacking third I'm gonna be freakin' creative.
When I'm out there on the field, I'm in a whole different world, you know? It's like, I'm just having so much fun.
playing
I'm going to go in and play, because the most important thing is playing on the field and being able to contribute. I really am ready.
life
I mean, I couldn't ask for a better life, man.
people playing
What do I have to cheat for? I've always been playing against people older than me anyways. So what do I have to cheat for?
