“Obsession beats talent — but if you don’t know when to stop, it ends up beating you.”

“Trophyless for 3 seasons but can’t leave because the Saudis own him.”

“This is normal. You play out certain plays in your head and ask yourself where could I have done differently.”

Inter Miami out of CONCACAF CC
