When we lose the ball, we look to win it back as soon as possible. But you can't do it alone; you have to do it all together.

The Premier League has the power to spend more money on players than the Bundesliga. This is very, very important for players.

I believe that I am a different person off the pitch than I am on it. On the pitch, I am a bit louder, and off the pitch, I am quieter.

It is always difficult, if you win against City, everybody expects it to be an easy win, but it will not be easy. It will be very difficult.

The Premier League is just a really cool league, the most interesting in the world, but you must always respect other big clubs and leagues.

We speak Turkish at home, and I can speak the language. I have a lot of family there - I try to fly to Turkey once a year when I have holidays.

I want to make it very clear that I have nothing at all against Bayern. They gave me lot of good things, a good education, and it was my decision to leave.

I am a completely different player to Ballack and Schweinsteiger. I admire the careers they have had - I hope mine will be like theirs - but I am not the same.

I have to work hard. I have to get fitness back. If I get game time - which is always different to training - I have to work hard on my game and get confidence again.

Sadio is a world-class player. He has so many qualities. He's a very strong player; he's a very quick player. He's always scoring goals and creating chances for the team.

Of course, sometimes you are tired and everything, but I think the most important thing is the mentality - if you say you are fit and want to go, then you can go every game.

I played a lot at Bayer Leverkusen. I played in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. I have played a lot of games, and it was a very good decision to go to Leverkusen.

Without being disrespectful to Leverkusen, playing for Liverpool helps me more because I am playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I have no regrets making this step.

It's difficult to go out when there is a match every third day. There isn't that much time - it's either preparation or recovery - and I would rather spend my time with friends at home.

It's true, I had a lot of offers from very good teams, but I decided Juventus because I think the project is very big, and they have very big aims, and I want to be a part of the big project here.

My target is to score more goals, not necessarily be the next Steven Gerrard. Obviously, my respect for him is very high, but I want to go my own way. I want to be Emre Can, not copy other players.

As a kid, my parents told me I always seemed to play football with older people. As a boy, I always trained in the age group above, and even kicking about on the street, I'd play with the bigger ones.

I always say the Premier League is the best in the world, and I still feel it is an honour to be playing here, but I think English football suits my game. Football is more physical here; the ref is not whistling every foul.

Steven Gerrard doesn't play because his name is Steven Gerrard. He plays because of what he brings in terms of performances. If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't play. He is as good as he was, and I have learned a lot from him.

Really, the club is like a big family. The locker-room spirit is also similar to what I had experienced at Liverpool, but I really like it here at Juventus, because it's not just a set of champions. The sense of a team, the group, is strongly felt.

I've had calf problems for many years, and it has been very difficult for me because I've played out of position, which means more sprints. Ten minutes into the game, I've not been able to feel my feet in a few games. I didn't like to go to the media and say, 'I am injured.'
