Some players mature at 18. Others at 28.
Hard things make me happy. You get upset, but you mature and improve: the quicker you reach your best level, the longer you stay there. They say players peak at 28; I wanted to be there at 22, 23.
Some players have 18 years in football. But some players are injured before they start. When I thought like that I said: 'If I compare with that I have been very lucky. At least I had 10 years of a beautiful experience that changed my life for ever.'
Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.
People called 28 Days and 28 Weeks zombie movies, and they're not! It's some sort of virus; they're not dead.

I'm 28, your career is a long time. We're not tennis players or football players. I'm just about reaching what should be my peak year.
Some age, others mature.
Some age. Others mature.
In my position you talk about a mature player being around 28 and it is normal that you improve.
I was about 18 six years ago. I'm 28 now.
I'm especially thankful for being able to coach so many talented young men over my 18 years here. It has been so rewarding to see these players come to OU and mature over a four- or five-year career, and not just on the field. To play a small part in their growth is what I will always cherish the most.
At 18, they're old enough to drive. The girls enter university, and the boys enter into National Service. Since they have a duty to defend our country, these 18-year-olds should also have the right to elect their leaders. They are mature enough.
Some people can accept the changes in life in a mature way but for most others, it is never easy.
I do not understand players going to China at the age of 27 or 28. Those guys are at the peak of their career. That is a waste, really. You only get one career. I sort of understand players who are already in their 30s.
Some players aren't able to show their ability in Europe, but some players can - I think the most important quality in the successful players is that they are mentally strong.
I arrived in Milan when I was 18. But my time in Italian football helped me to mature.
