"When it comes to a technical sponsor, no-one will use me for that. I can't allow a situation where someone will give me two shorts and two golf T-shirts and a tracksuit and inform me that I must buy 1 000 replicas. If you calculate the amount that I will use to buy these replicas, it is massive. It's bigger than the sponsorship that they are offering to me."
