CARLOS VELA

I hope I'm lucky enough to be at Arsenal for a long time.

A lot of times I made the wrong choices and you learn from this, what is good, what's bad.

I think that what I don't like is everything that surrounds a footballer. The fame, the people idolizing you, the press, not being able to have a normal life like normal person. I think that is what has held me back a little in football.

I'm with LeBron team all the way!

The most important part of my life came in San Sebastian: my new family.

It's not only the things I want, football is a business and you know how it works.

When you are a player, sometimes, you forget you are a person, you are a father, you are a husband.

You don't know where you'll end up.

Of course I always want Mexico to win.

It's definitely more nerve-wracking being in front of the cameras, although I'm trying to get better at it.

Never been crazy enough about soccer to say, 'I'm a Madrid fan until death.'

Hopefully, I can keep scoring more goals, make more assists, break more records and help my team, which is the most important thing.

All of us make mistakes and the majority of us have missed a day's work for whatever reason.

The truth is I've been through a lot and you see that this is a job. It's not like for fans, for whom it is a feeling and a passion.

I am not a person who loves to watch games and that doesn't mean I don't like soccer. I take advantage to do other things in my free time.

Everything is possible in this life.

If I go out to eat with my wife or take my son to the park, nobody cares.

I wanted to leave so much that when I heard I had a good offer to play and leave England, it was a case of me saying: 'I love it! Yes, let's go!'

My family has taught me to keep my feet on the ground and be humble.

I know I can be one of the best in this league, so I'm trying to show that every game.

I'm really happy here, playing in L.A. I want to be here.

If I have to return to London, I will try to make things in a different way in order so that happened in the past won't be repeated again.

Having a family has helped a lot with my partner, my son. It helped me focus on soccer.

Arsene knows what he wants and knows how to get the best out of you - that is why he gets such an impressive response from his players.

It is very special for me to be the first Designated Player in LAFC history.
