The veteran defender is now playing in Georgia with Torpedo Kutaisi.

“It's not my point. It's just football. Sometimes few things happen inside. I cannot talk about it, but it's like this. It's football.

“Yeah, it was a really great moment for me in my career. And that's it. I told you, I'm a positive man. So I don't like to speak about the inside of football, you know?
“I will speak about it one day, of course. Of course one day I will speak. But not now, it is not the right moment.
“When I do my documentary of my career and of my life, all the truth will go out in that moment, just for fun.”
