Thank you for your hospitality and for this honor, for allowing me to join this prestigious award and the list of players who have received it. I also achieved this by playing with great players. That’s what I’ve learned since I started at Birmingham: the responsibility to always help the team. I was very lucky to play with great players.

And the England international added:

It’s amazing to hear praise, but I don’t agree that I’m the best. Help is important to me, I try to improve game by game and focus on becoming the best, but I still have a long way to go.

Real Madrid is the greatest team in the world and to be able to play there is incredible. Not everyone can do this, and I was very lucky. Goals have to be big when you play for Real Madrid and in England., which I am very proud to present. I’ll give it my all and the pressure is high. I will do my best to give my best in both combinations,” he commented.

I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t play football, so I thank my family for their support. Football has given me everything I have. Being an example for kids is an honor and responsibility. I’m not perfect, right now I’m focused on playing football and having fun with it – that’s what I can tell you.
