I feel very thankful and very lucky because I love what I do. That's the only secret, dedication, being as professional as I can.
"I still have the feelings in your tummy before the games. That lovely fear of making mistakes still, feeling that responsibility. As a romantic football player (being at Villarreal) was the end I could only dream of. Living all those years away from Spain and coming back to the club that gave me the opportunity to grow as a player (after joining from Barcelona).
"It's a dream ending for me and my family because my wife also has a big family here and we are really at home. I want to keep going as long as they want me. As long as I am OK to be helpful with the team, I'll be around. The club knows.
"Whenever they decide I'm no longer any help for the club, on the field at least, I will hang up the gloves because (it's) clearly going to be my last club."
