Truth be told, I don't care much what people think of me. I've been walking around with gaps between my teeth for years, so I don't care what others think of my decisions. And I have a strong connection with the number 9 because I wore it for the national team and for all the youth teams."
"Great players. I think of players like Ronaldinho, Beckham, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka. Ronaldo. These players. Zlatan. I watched them play in the Champions League finals for Milan, all the time. And it's simply a great club with a special crest, a heavy jersey, but I like it."
"No one's ever called me that. But it's more like Nick. More Italian (laughs). Usually everyone calls me Fuller. That's my nickname,"
