It is my job to score goals but that is only one part of the team.

No player can win matches on his own.

For me the French team belongs to the past.

I have always been proud and happy to wear France's colours. I have always been respectful of the team. But I need people to prove they really want me to play.

When the chance came to join a great club like Liverpool, I weighed up my options and it was obviously the best move for me.

All I've ever wanted is to improve myself and become the best, which is the reason I joined Real in the first place.

Sometimes things don't go exactly as you'd wish. You have to be mentally strong to overcome those moments.

In your career, you can't always be at the top.

When I knew I had the chance to play for Liverpool I couldn't refuse it.

It seems that Gerard Houllier did not appreciate my personality. It bothers him to have someone around who could stand up to him.

The one thing I can tell you is that I can't stand the English press, who cause me enormous problems on a personal level.

I have a very English coaching philosophy.

I know I won't be a manager, I don't want to do it, never.

Sometimes to rest, even to watch your team-mates from the bench, is not too bad. It is part of the game and you try to be fresh when you come on the pitch.

When you play for a team like Chelsea you will have to fight for your place.

I have never said I wanted to leave Chelsea.

It is always good to win a game.

Rooney is a good player, everybody knows his quality.

When you have been coached by Ancelotti and other greats, it's hard to be coached by Domenech!

With Chelsea... I play in blue every weekend and that's more than enough for me.

For me, ever since the South Africa World Cup, the French team is part of the past.

My quenelle was very misunderstood.

I'd compare myself to Zinedine Zidane - a humble guy who just happened to be the best.

In Spain you can't do anything. If you drive, everyone recognises you; at a restaurant you have paparazzi outside.
