Victor Valdes admits he hated being a goalkeeper growing up.
The Barcelona keeper is currently recovering from a serious knee injury.
"I saw that when a teammate used to score, everyone went and celebrated with him, but if I let one in, everyone would criticise me. I wasn't happy. For 12 years I didn't like what I did - I hated it," he said.
"I was the typical kid that people could see wasn't happy from a mile off. I never laughed or had fun playing football."
