David Villa to Messi

“Crying is for the losers, but we don’t have those in our team.”

“‘Impossible’ is only a word that weak men use to live in the world in which they were given, not daring to explore the power they have to change it.

‘Impossible’ is potential.

‘Impossible’ is temporary.

‘Impossible’ is nothing.”
