What is the sort of earliest thing I need to understand about where you came from and that environment?

The older I've gotten, I'm now 33, so I think I'm two years older than you.

The more I've realized actually with time what I learned from my parents and like the values that my dad in particular gave me.

He never, for a lot of the things, it's not something he ever said to me.

It's like modeling what he did.

So seeing how he behaved.

What's that for you?

I mean, it's really interesting because I wondered to myself how... I think you started playing football at five years old, right?

Yeah, five.

And were you good from five years old?

Were you different from your peers at a young age?

At five years old.

I mean, I've got some photos of you as a young man here.

I've got so many photos here.

You must be roughly around that age then.

And remarkably, I read that after one training session, they moved you into the older group and you played with people two years older than you when you were four or five years old?

Why did they move you into a different group?

I actually read that you were so aggressive that referees sometimes asked your coach at Infesta, Sergio, to sub you off.

Otherwise, they'd have to send you off.

Yeah.
