I respect Messi a lot.

I don't drink or smoke.

An experience abroad really enriches you.

I started playing football in the streets.

You always have to dream big and think big.

Messi is top but Maradona is another world.

Someone who signs a contract must respect it.

Conte is a good friend and is very charismatic.

Going to Dubai represents a different way of life.

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

Real Madrid? I don't have any nostalgia or bitterness.

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

If you have Messi or Ronaldo you start the game 1-0 up.

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

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

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

In my career, Diego Maradona had the biggest influence on me.

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

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

People who know me would know that I take one battle at a time.

I began searching for my confidence on the pitch as a young boy.

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

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

I have thought about moving to Dubai for a while. It's a city that I love.

I'm a coach who admires attacking football. I want my teams to look to win.

I'm very proud because, all my life, I worked very hard to be a football player.

I'm definitely not a perfect coach and it's impossible to make everyone satisfied.

I have always been a Napoli fan, but the choice to move to Dubai is the right one.

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

I would recommend all players go to Napoli, it is a gratifying and successful place.

I think to reach a Champions League final isn't easy, whether it's in Europe or Asia.

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

Juventus in Italy are like Real Madrid in Spain, when you enter the team it feels different.

Maradona, I think, is not a football player but he's something different. He was unbelievable.

Juve have allowed me to show my worth, it has provided me with a challenge that has motivated me.

Italy is a great country, one of the most beautiful in the world, but I've always gone my own way.

Sure, it is true that none of us is Superman. But when we stand together, we can achieve anything.

I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambience and culture of football in England.

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

For me, my passion is just to play the game, it doesn't matter if no one comes to the stadium to watch.

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

When you win the World Cup, you start to become a legend - for the people around the world, you are different.

I like Mourinho a lot. He has a good relationship with fans, and he always takes responsibility for his players.

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.

If you want to improve the football, of course you need to put attention on the academy, on the school, the facility.

I was trained under very famous coaches in the Italian national team, Read Madrid, Juventus, Internazionale and Parma.

For a team of Evergrande's level, fans hope to have the top coaches and the coach will definitely face various pressures.

After winning the World Cup and the European Footballer of the Year award too, I do not think I can ask for anything else.

When someone becomes a part of the Azzurri squad that has won a World Cup, they are like family, and they never abandon anyone.

I like Mourinho because he is intelligent. When his team are in difficulty he's very good at focussing the attention on himself.
