Being in a football environment is where I'm most comfortable. I only feel excited and motivated when it comes to crucial, difficult, important matches.

I'm not saying there's no pressure at Evergrande, there's pressure at Evergrande all the time. But I am myself and, no matter if I'm playing for Real Madrid or at the World Cup, I've never felt pressure.

Real are the type of club where you are expected to win every game. For a player who wants to be the best it is stimulating to feel the pressure to defend their interests.

I do feel I'm a player who has played well in 2006.

I am Neapolitan and Naples are the team from where I grew up.

I have great respect for Juve, whom gave me so much, where I won two championships.

Del Piero is like Raul in Spain, he is the number one.

Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of experience. He won the Champions League while at Milan, playing some great football in the process.

Personally, I like Jerome Boateng. He is physically strong.

Frank de Boer definitely showed in the Netherlands that he's a good coach.

Iniesta deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. To win it, you have to be lucky that the attackers have not done so well. If Messi and Ronaldo score 50 or 60 goals, they will always give it to them.

You know, when you are the Italian national team, all the time you need to win because for our history, it is important for us to try to win the World Cup.

I love Forlan. He runs a lot, shoots with both feet, puts pressure on and he is intelligent and fast.

I started playing football in the streets.

Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.

Beyond studying, though, I think a coach should mainly have knowledge of football: if you do not know what to say to the players then you are not going anywhere.

If you work in a certain manner, you don't make mistakes.

The arrival of Beckham at Milan is not just a matter of marketing.

Prandelli is a coach with great experience and he knows how to work with young people also.

Of course when you are starting to be a coach you want to do your best and my national team is my dream.

I'm Italian and the privilege of working in my home country would fill me with pride. However, the opportunity to work in a variety of countries, learning new cultures and footballing mentalities, is also very valuable.

An experience abroad really enriches you.

A compact defense has always been the basis of Italy's team.

I never saw Pele, but I watched Maradona, for seven years I saw every game. He's not one of the best, he's the best.
