How do you mark Ronaldo? You try not to leave him alone and don't let him shoot on his right foot. As for Messi... you just make the sign of the cross!

When you speak about Real Madrid, you talk about a lot of money - almost infinite funds - something very unique in the world.

With all due respect, but Juventus are not Real Madrid or the AC Milan of Ronaldinho's days. They can win games 6-2 or 5-2. Juventus are not like that. We have to win 1-0 or 2-0. It's in the club's DNA. That does not mean we will not try to win 3-0, but we are a team that cannot concede a goal when we are ahead.

Malice is part of football, I wouldn't call it illegitimate.

Choosing a system is no longer enough, coaches have to be psychologists and motivational leaders too.

I have got lots of confidence in my own ability and I know I have got to keep up my standards.

At the academy the coaches would show us Arsenal games on TV and my idol was Thierry Henry. He inspired me. That's why I became an Arsenal fan.

Critics and criticism are part of the game and I've not been affected by it.

Whatever player Arsene picks to play for Arsenal, I respect that and so should the fans.

It's a great club, for me, and I am still an Arsenal fan. Will I come back? Maybe, I still hope to.

Everything's possible in football.

I liked playing in England, I liked playing for Arsenal.

In life you will always be criticised.

I like to relax in the South of France. The weather is so good, the food is so good, and it is perfect because we can all speak French.

Jay Z, Thierry Henry, and President Obama are three people I really respect.

I grew up with very little - so material things have never been that important for me.

Didier Drogba has been an inspiration to all of us in the Ivory Coast national team. He is a great motivator for all of us - and some of the talks he gives are like a president trying to motivate his country. It is not just what he does on the field - but also all he does for all of our people off the field.

Thanks to football, I live a decent life.

When I went to the academy, we watched Arsenal because of Guillou's connection with Arsene.

Arsenal will always remain a large club.

When you are young, you always want to improve, to work with great managers - and Arsene Wenger is one of the best in the world.

Almost always being among the reserves was the worst thing for me and for my confidence.

I left England because I was not playing.

You can have a bad day but that does not make you a bad team.
