IT WAS A WORLD RECORD TRANSFER.BUT I NEVER WANTED TO SIGN FOR MILAN.THEN CAME MY CRASH.I COULD HAVE DIED.

My name is Gigi and I'm a normal guy. I have friends and I spend time playing billiards with them it's one of the things I like the most.

- 

They say I'm pretty good I am, but only as long as those who are really good don't take to the table, then things get difficult.

I like billiards a lot - it's a laugh and a way to spend time with those I care about. I go for dinner or spend holidays with them, too.

My life isn't mundane, though. I'd describe it as cosy. Yes, it's a quiet life, but this is how I am and how I like it. I've been an important footballer and people still remember me for that. They used to talk a lot about me back then, but it was their will and not mine - if you ask me, things could have been much quieter around me. Most footballers like to take centre stage - I never liked it.

Yet it always happened nevertheless, because of my personality and the style of football I played. That was just me. I've always done what makes me feel good, and at that time my behaviour was a bit unusual, so people kept talking about it. Long hair, a diamond earring and all those little things that a 20-year-old boy does to enjoy life. Even driving a nice car, but I'll come back to that...

Nowadays, every player has tattooed arms and a funny haircut, everyone does whatever they want. It's all normal and no one says anything. I respect that. I never liked to show off. I don't even like to do interviews. I do them because I know that some things need to be done and people are curious. It would also be wrong to completely forget about my past, so here we are.
