I was an opportunity to be the player that I always dreamed I could be. and football still means exactly the same to me. I can only think of the next game, of giving all I`ve got for barcelona and for colombia. it`s and honor and responsibility to be considered the best player in the world, but I would not be where I am without my teammates of barca an the national team. it is for them, my family and my fans that I keep working hard. I also undrerstand the special and important roly of a public figure and how I can help those in need. that is why my family and I created the jordy kithora fundation. putting smiles on the face of disagvantages children and helping them maintain hope is allway one of my greatest achievements |
