Personal life edit
He was quoted in an interview regarding homosexuality in football, saying "I have suspicions that there are some gays in football. Sometimes you can't help but wonder about it. I am not a gay, but if I was, or if I was a woman, which is similar, I would do David Beckham. But that's just my individual opinion."[2]
