You just read the title, didn't you?

It gives me things I couldn’t have, nice things, but happiness? That’s a not a question of money and fame. Quite the opposite. If you’re famous, people are there: ‘Look, look, the famous guy.’”

Well he's basically complaining about getting recognized on the street.

I don’t understand why everyone fights for power, money, fame. Has no one stopped to think that fame is shit? That the more money you have, the more problems?

He either wanted to say something different, or he's a knobhead. Don't get me wrong I hate people who only see someone's money and then laugh at him when he says that he's unhappy. Not everyone gets happier as soon as he gets richer, There are rich people who suffer from mental illness or chronic depression and money has nothing to do with that. But "the more money you have, the more problems", what is he thinking?

He meant it all fame-related, imo. He was born very poor, and lived like that for a very good part of his life. Really poor, living without the basic.
This is where he was born:

So I don't think he's complaing about the money itself, but the baggage it brings. Or he meant he could still be happy if he had less than what he has now, seeing his origins were really bad.

Just read the full interview, from the guardian, and it isn't as bad as some quotes alone. He basically said he was happier when he was oblivious to the fact of how bad can the world be.

He's not the shatpest tool in the box.

For starters he wouldn't be dating that chick he takes selfies with every day if he was still poor.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Like Valdes.

You can't say you want to be a normal guy and own two Ferraris. Normal = Toyota, Ford, etc.. Rich = Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. Crazy rich = several of them.

He's living the life of a rich man because he wanted to. And he wanted it because he likes it. You don't drive a Ferrari if you don't love luxury. And it's perfectly fine to love luxury as long as you fucking admit it.

I bet a pair of those crazy shoes he's wearing often cost well over 400 EUR. I bet the watch he's wearing is not a 50$ Casio, but a Rolex, or a Piguet or Vacheron or whatever luxury brand there is.

He's just making a fool of himself with these comments. Just stick to football.

My main issue is that the title of that interview (i.e. rich people issues) wasn't even the main topic of discussion. It was just a minor part, yet everything else he said went by unnoticed.

GAve the ball away that lead to the goal and literally did everything wrong. Really needs to focus a bit and stop with the child like shanageins.., it's like he has regressed in maturity majorly this season

He has a few okay games and everyone forgets how mediocre he has been for so many games. Just exchanging a shit load of 1-2's with Messi does not mean he is the best RB we can have. I've been waiting for us to get a good Alves replacement for years now - unfortunate that Vidal is unlikely to be good enough to be our unquestionable number 1.
