It is impossible to do it for the whole game, but when you have the ball for most of the game and have players like Samir Nasri, David Silva, Yaya Toure, and Raheem Sterling, they keep the ball so well.

Having trust in your manager is the most important thing for a footballer.

I spent eight years in Ukraine, and I played against Kiev many times.

The Premier League is always like that - you never know what can happen! Even at the top of the table and bottom of the table.

It is always tough to play against Norwich.

To be able to battle is very important.

You need to be ready for all situations.

I don't think City play a Brazilian style - it is more Spanish the way we play here.

With Pep in charge, I feel sure we can win significant silverware and, importantly, we will try to do it playing attractive, attacking football.

Of course, when you lose any game, the feeling is so bad. But you have to be professional and have to be clever and overcome this situation and try to work on that and try to fix the problem and solve for the next game.

It is not a problem - you don't think about the climate, or the cold; we just think about winning the game.

It's always difficult when you have had a game in midweek to get to a final.

As a human, as a professional player, you have to improve every day, every training session, every game.

One of the positive things about Pep is that he is so close with his staff - they support him in every situation, and we, as players, have huge contact with them.

If you want to win the Premier League, you have to win away as well.

It's good when you score goals because you are helping your team. For yourself as well, it's good, but the most important thing is the strength of the team.

When you have this desire to win, to win, to win, I would not feel comfortable losing a title.

We all know the Premier League is so tough and many, many things can happen - right until the last game of the season.

Football doesn't depend just on your brain. It's not like on a computer. It depends on your body, too, and sometimes you are tired. Sometimes the opponent closes the space very well and marks you very well. Football depends on many things, not just on you.

When I was young, I would drive so fast. Now I see it a different way.

Most of the players can get injured, small ones and big ones. But when you get the small ones, you have to fight against them and play, play, play.

I learned not to fight against the many bad things in football and try to always battle through injuries. That's one of the most important things I learned.

You think about past World Cups - in 2006, it was a fantastic Brazil team, but we did not do so well that year. In 2010, the same: it did not go far, either - only the quarter-finals. But in '94 and 2002, Brazil did not play the best football but won the World Cup; they found a way to win.

The Premier League is considered the best league in the world.
