"Days before each game I take three pills, and hours before playing I get an injection. If not, I can't play. Hence the limp,” he told Radio 890 Sport, per the Euro Football.
"I have to think that in maybe five years I won't be able to play 5-a-side football with my friends.
"The truth is that the first steps in the morning are very painful. Anyone who sees me thinks that it is impossible for me to play a game. My son asks me to play with him and I simply cannot."
