The Mohamed Salah incident, you know what I’m talking about, got me this 'dirty player' label. As a professional I accept sticks and stones as part and parcel. I respect every opinion even if people misjudge me.
At the end of the day I know I would never hurt another fellow professional. My conscience is clear."

I keep a Michael Jordan quote in my phone: Every time you fall, get up again.
Jordan never feared failure and neither do I. I’ve failed or struggled so many times: Being rejected by Hajduk Split, by Arsene Wenger; getting used to the Bosnian league as a teenager from Croatia, and later the Premier League with Tottenham. I’ve learnt to see each episode as simply another obstacle to overcome, a challenge to prove my doubters wrong.”
