"These kind of awards you cannot win by yourself, but by playing for the team, so I have to thank my team-mates, both in club and national team, as they are part of this too.
"It would be great to win this award, but I like to focus on what can I do for my team.
"And if it means I'll win some individual award, great, but the team comes first."
