For me, the timing has been good, but I also feel very lucky to be playing in Utah. We have a good team with tremendous players who like to win.
I've been teaching myself the fundamentals and being around some good players, but also been learning to play team games, playing 3-on-3s, playing 1-on-1s, playing 5-on-5s, playing 21. There are guys bigger than me on the court, but I've had numerous comparisons to Ty Lawson.
Individual players don't win titles no matter how good you are as a player. The best players in the world need a team around them. It is about the team, and we are playing for the badge.
I think you can learn lots of skills playing football. Team building is one. You also learn how to solve problems within your team. Sometimes you find yourself playing with players that you don't necessarily like, but you have to put your differences aside for the good of the team. It gives you skills that you may not appreciate at the time.
It has always been an ambition of mine to make a record. I'm lucky to have a good team behind me. A very different story to the poor struggling artist. I'm very lucky.
On a good team there are no superstars. There are great players who show they are great players by being able to play with others as a team. They have the ability to be superstars, but if they fit into a good team, they make sacrifices, they do things necessary to help the team win. What the numbers are in salaries or statistics don't matter; how they play together does.
I had very good players around me in the team, like in the German national team. Andreas Brehme was one of my best partners in the team because he had good eyes; he could always hit the best ball.
I would really like to be at Barca because it is the best team in the world. I would like to be in the first team, but also, I know it is very complicated, as there are very good players.
There are two real keys to winning. You've got to have good players: no coach won with bad players. You win with good players. That is number one. Number two is, when we are playing, let's say we are playing Michigan, and they had a really good press: we've got to solve that press.
I think it is also good for my development, playing in a team like Southampton at right-back where sometimes you're going to be under pressure and be one-v-one with the best players in the world, let alone the League.
Playing in a team like Barca, you always feel pressure. The demand is to win everything, but this is good for you as a footballer: it makes you play better.
Individually, City have such good players, and the idea of playing there with such amazing players and fighting for a title - because I feel we have the team to do that - is amazing.
It's very tough to build a championship team. It takes time and good players, and you have to get lucky as well.
I just want to play well, have the people in Chicago enjoy watching soccer. You have a very good baseball team, a very good ice hockey team, and a very good football team. Hopefully you'll have a very good soccer team.
I have always thought if there is a game, and there have been a lot of fouls on me, then I have been playing well for the team, so that means we're having a good match. You can win a free-kick when there's a foul, and that's a chance to score a goal.
I consider myself lucky because I've had the possibility in life to do the one thing closest to my heart: playing football. I've also been lucky enough to win prestigious trophies like two Champions Leagues and other competitions with Milan.
I just don't want to be bored. That's the only criteria I have when I choose a role to play. I like it if the script is good and the director seems like he's gonna be good. But if I can find a variety of things to do, which I feel like I manage to do, as far as the actual performing goes and the character, that's huge for me. To be able to feel like I can do a fairly diverse array of things. I've been lucky in that way. I don't mind being stereotyped in some way and playing certain kinds of guys, but if I can find something to occasionally get a break from that, that would be nice.
