If one day I have to go to war, straight away right next to me, on the front line, I would put Patrice Evra. And there aren't many that I would put there.

I have never had a problem with the Jewish community, and besides why would I have?

I missed out on the World Cup twice and it did not kill me.

I was very young when I was with Real Madrid and in some ways 'appreciated it and in others I didn't.

Some players have to change their game in their careers. I did, and I like it.

I think Martin Keown was the toughest. I liked playing against him in training because I knew it was just like a game situation.

I have been obsessed with the local cultures during my previous trips to the likes of Korea Republic, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Chinese Hong Kong and Macau.

I love all the clubs I play for.

As a player you just concentrate on your game.

It is foolish to hold against me remarks that I never made.

I had great moments in my life and I'm happy with what I achieved.

I did very little at Real Madrid. I would have liked to do much more but I didn't get the chance.

I am shy, quiet and like spending time with my family.

I am a simple person, I try to do my best on the pitch and do nothing wrong both on and off the pitch.

I'm not scared. I always go forward, trying to create space and make my way toward the goal.

Before speaking without knowledge, saying lies, you have to present evidence.

When you see a person you love being affected, suffering, people saying things that aren't true... then it hurts you.

Whoever likes football always likes to see the best player on the pitch.

Football without Messi and Messi without football are not things that go together.

The fact I am the most expensive player is not a burden.

When I'm on the field, the trick I like to do most are stepovers. For me, it's a simple, beautiful dribble that also has a point.

I've learned my tricks watching videos on the Internet with friends. I'm always trying to copy what I've seen at home, what I learned from my friends. But you have to repeat it again and again to get it right on the field.
