Would you rather be able to speak in any human language or communicate with all animals, and why?
I would love to speak any human language since soccer is the world’s sport, and you can meet so many people through it. I would love to be able to talk with everyone, everywhere I’d go.
Do you have any pre-game superstitions, either as a coach or a player?
I don’t really have any superstitions other than finding something to do that is fun and can help me de-stress that requires no thinking at all, and I can rely solely on muscle memory. I find this helps keep nerves about the game, calm and irrelevant.
