Yeah, I feel like I went... A lot of players go to Real Madrid and it's like this glitz and glamour and I never was like that.

I just wanted to go there and play football and go home.

That was just my... Is that enough for them over there?

Which clearly it wasn't.

Personally, I think that's probably the biggest thing.

I never would want to go and do interviews all the time.

I'd have to sometimes.

And just, yeah, I never wanted the kind of, I don't know, the... Circus?

Circus that goes with it.

I just wanted to play football and go home and be with my family kind of thing.

And I think for me, there's probably not enough for the fans.

They want to get to know you, they want to know your personality, they want that bit of ego.

I never really was me.

And again, I was so stubborn, I was unwilling to change.

And there's other things that I was stubborn with that probably...

If I'd played the game a bit better, I would have probably been less targeted by the press and the fans and stuff, but... Were you targeted a lot?

Yeah, I think so.

And even... I remember leaving a game... Because whenever we were injured or suspended, you could leave ten minutes before the end of the game.

Right.

That was, like, the rule.
