They always say, if there's someone you want to meet or train, you always find it in the place where the hard work happens."

"You can't change a 32-year-old player, you can't, you can change and adapt and learn but your base can't change. When you get hurt, when it gets tough, that's when your foundation and fundamentals will always be visible. You can add it and upgrade as a fighter.''
