In Manchester, there are two restaurants, and everything's small. It rains all the time.

Of course I would buy a house in Marbella. In Marbella, you can buy a house by the beach, relax there, and later you can go there on holiday and everything.

I do feel the obligation and desire to win the Scudetto with Juventus, and obviously everybody wants to win the Champions League.

I'm absolutely aware of the great effort Juventus Football Club has made to bring me here.

He who doesn't love Messi knows nothing about football or about life.

Me and my family all like Shanghai, and I'm slowly getting used to the city and the atmosphere.

My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City.

In order to make history, you have to win the World Cup. It's not good enough just to reach a final.

I won't have plastic surgery. You either take me as I am, or you don't.

Street football is the greatest thing in the world. There is just you and your friends against the rest.

We didn't have football boots, and we used a broken tennis ball instead of a football. I didn't use a proper ball until I was 11.

I grew up in a place where there weren't many opportunities if you didn't become a footballer.

As a kid, I would never have imagined I would live in England for four years. I am very happy and contented that my daughter is growing up in a country as developed as this one.

I don't like to get involved in conflict.

You have to do your talking on the pitch. I don't talk much in England - mainly because of the language.

I'm not exactly an example of how to learn English; I just can't get it into my head. I'm learning hardly anything, truth be told.

Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid? Like Manchester, they are one of the best clubs in the world - and it would be a pleasure to play for them.

Sometimes in a game - even with the best will in the world - a striker can drift out for 10 minutes and then come back into it.

If things are not going well on the field, then it's up to me to lead by example.

It did surprise me to be made captain. The obvious issue is my English. It's not that great, so communicating with players is not always easy. But I am thriving on the responsibility, both on and off the field.

I did not transfer from United to City for the controversy.

Experiencing difficult things, even as a very young kid, means you grow up quickly. I think that enables everyone to choose their own path and not just accept the one others have taken before you, and I went my own way.

You simply can't get inside the heads of other people and say to them, 'Look, I went through some rough times.' It's impossible to explain everything the streets taught me, and that was quite a lot.

When you have to play football, you do it in the knowledge that there's a lot riding on the match, be it money, your team-mates, or the feelings of the fans.
