I like to be in contact with the ball, have possession, to play.

I will always be grateful to Chelsea, to the players, the directors, the owner, the fans.

Like any footballer, I love to play. I love to feel important. I love to enjoy the game.

My duty, what I have to do, is try my best in every training session, leave everything of me on the pitch. That's how I can go to bed at the end of the day and be happy with myself.

The managers I've known all had their own specific way of working.

You have to feel free enough to do what your body is telling you to do. Sometimes, though, the pressure of winning and the fear of defeat limit your performance.

It's amazing knowing that a club like Manchester United is interested in you. It's a good feeling.

I just want to be playing! I love to play. But I think I can play in the three positions behind the striker.

I'm the way my father taught me to be.

There are so many clubs with great squads, good managers, good financial situations that allows them to sign good players.

Everything I do is about improvement.

As a child, we would all go to a tiny village near Burgos, and we'd have typical Spanish parties in the summer. There would be a band and grandparents dancing all night dressed up as American Indians and things like that.

Football is losing its essence: people talk about celebrations instead of goals.

Van Gaal is how you see him in the press conferences; he's like that with us, too. He's honest and straightforward. He believes in his style of training and way of preparing for games.

I'm a professional. I have to do my best.

It will be nice to play against Australia. It's a great country, and football is getting bigger and bigger.

I am thrilled to be joining United. I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea, but the time has come for a new challenge.

I feel privileged to play for Manchester United. It is something, when I'm old, I will always be proud of.

The most important and the better feeling in football, for me, is scoring a goal.

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ; He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.

There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.

It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.

We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring.

It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.

Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.

If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.

Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.

Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ...

One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.

Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.

The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment , and tribulation for only one reason--these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.

The passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.

Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift of God. The energy and the power which was so very evident in Jesus will be exhibited in us by an act of the absolute sovereign grace of God, once we have made that complete and effective decision about sin. We have to keep letting go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us, penetrating every part.

Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, "every one that asketh receiveth."

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him & He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.

Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God.

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
