I have experienced a lot in football and if the young players need advice, they know they can ask me.

Any manager can go through a really difficult time.

Ramadan is an important part of Islam, and when you are observing it, God is happy with you and you have to have a big celebration.

For me, Ramadan is not an easy time because it's a time when I need to work much harder, because I need to help my teammates. That's the way I see things.

I think it's amazing how Ramadan can make you really strong.

I think you say that strikers win you games, but defenders win titles and I think that's really important.

I think it's very important to have a good defensive team.

It is very difficult to leave your team for a month to play in the African Nations. But you are playing for your country, for your father, for your family, for your pride.

I need to work hard and that is alright by me.

Ask anybody - every day at training I give everything.

Everybody wants to play for Pep.

You know that in a lot of games it is only decided towards the end. Players get tired and when you have that push from your fans you can feel the difference.

You can't ever give up. When you refuse to lose games, you often find yourself winning them.

When you don't play, you need to support the team and your team-mates need to feel that you are behind them fully.

We all want to be champion.

Wenger is a top manager, he has shown that unbelievably. The thing I like is this manager can make an average player one of the best players in the world.

Always, always, for a team like City, it's difficult to go for a season without winning one trophy.

When you play for big clubs you have more chance to win trophies.

Every season when I win a trophy I'm just so happy.

You know I've been at Arsenal which is a top club and every week you have to fight for your place.

For me the most important is the club, the team.

I want to talk to players, that is the way I am. That is what I bring. I will keep doing that, it doesn't matter what happens, anywhere I go.

I remember the best defenders were Baresi and Cannavaro - you don't have to be really tall.

Baresi was not tall but he was a great player, while Cannavaro was the best defender in the world - hopefully I will be the same.
