I think make-up and personal grooming are seen differently than if a boy does his hair.<br /><br />“A lot of people think it's vanity, but it's also feeling. The feeling of feeling confident and strong, there's something to that. I think it's good that we're different and that we look however we want.<br /><br />“You take some of the attention away from football, but that's how it happened also with Beckham. There is nothing wrong with playing football with make-up, we have to stop blaming them.”<br />
