We have to respect the opponents but we also have to believe in ourselves.

Who does not want to coach Barcelona?

My whole football life is pressure. If I don't get pressure from outside I put pressure on myself.

Some players need pressure to get the best out of themselves.

I accept that everyone is entitled to his opinion and as a coach, I don't run away from criticism.

I still have the newspapers of my first match at Barcelona. It was a disaster. We lost 2-0 and everybody was questioning my arrival.

Drogba is more of a hold-up player, a target man. I prefer to have ball to feet and run in behind.

I'm a goal scorer, so I'm here to score goals, but at the end of the day, I want to help my team-mates reach something, so we are working hard.

Football is all about having fun - but playing to win at the same time. When you find the right balance, there's so much more to enjoy.

When we were kids, we couldn't even afford to watch Thierry Henry on Match of the Day.

I want to help my team-mates as much as possible.

Sometimes footballers, we get soft a little bit.

I just want to be good, help my team-mates win the games, and score a lot of goals.

For me, football is not about money - I want to win prizes.

The billions watching and following the Premier League don't tune in to see you in training. They want to know what you can do in a match.

What I would like most is to play in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better - a few times.

I work hard and do everything to make sure I am in the starting line-up.

When I was 11 years old, I was playing for the Lierse youth team, and one of the parents from the other team literally tried to stop me from going on the pitch. He was like, 'How old is this kid? Where is his ID? Where is he from?'

My father has always been a big influence in my life.

At the end of the day, I just want to work hard for the team, and if I improve, I'm really satisfied.

When Manchester United and Jose Mourinho come knocking at the door, it is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I could not turn down.

I looked up to Cristiano Ronaldo, and then it was always Didier Drogba.

I always said I wanted to play for a team that's challenging for every trophy that there is there.

I sit next to Drogba in the dressing room. I listen all the time because he gives advice.
