I am just a normal person, and it is normal to have quality time with my family.

Living without my children in Manchester has been incredibly challenging for me.

I don't regret anything, not even leaving Boca because it was the time to do so.

To me, being the best means proving it in different countries and championships.

I'm not desperate but I know that some day I'll be the coach again of some team.

There's a few ugly ones. Carlo is probably the best looking [on chelsea players]

This whole 'tired footballers' and three-games-a-week thing is an absolute myth.

I'm more of a 5 Live man. But I might listen to a bit of Coldplay or The Smiths.

There was nothing wrong with the performance, apart from throwing away the game.

You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.

You have to be physical - that's the way it is in a midfield in the modern game.

To assume that a bigger pipeline is a better pipeline is a dangerous assumption.

I've always believed that training with great players makes you a better player.

Football is losing its essence: people talk about celebrations instead of goals.

You get bunches of players like you do bananas, though that is a bad comparison.

I'm 28 now and they say you peak at 28 - so my best years are still ahead of me.

My best position is in the middle, and if I am asked to play there, I can do it.

I always say I have two hearts - one beats for Poland and the other for Germany.

I try to play my game; I try my best to recover the ball quickly: that's my job.

I get on well with Mourinho. He trusts me and knows what I can give to the team.

I am a person that likes to move on. I am the first to make mistakes in my life.

I need to feel like I have that freedom to make mistakes and to just try things.

I had a tough career. I then resolved to find peace. And, I finally found Islam.

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

We need to show character whenever we concede a goal and try to make a comeback.

I don't really think kids care much these days - they just tell you to f*** off.

You know when I say that things happen in matches? Well, it just happened there.

That's not the type of header you want to see your defender make, with his hand.

Messi is the greatest, but he has always been surrounded by other great players.

When I retired, I stopped playing because of my body, so much pain and injuries.

I am both proud and excited at the prospect of working as the Liverpool manager.

When you're a player, you want the manager to know your quality and to want you.

I would be a dream to score against Madrid, that would be an unforgettable goal.

For me it's best to play midfield but if the team needs it, I can play anywhere.

When you are in a good frame of mind then the performance is going to be better.

Its not like you make a decision and everything inside you is 100 percent happy.

You cannot teach a bird to fly, only how to let go his branch and begin to fall.

People say I'm bad at a lot of things. One I agree with is that I'm a bad driver.

One of the biggest fears of players in a shootout is letting your teammates down.

If a footballer goes on the pitch with the right mentality, he will perform well.

I'm proud of my body, I'm proud of my sport, I'm proud of being a female athlete.

This is something I've dreamed of for a long, long time - to play in a World Cup.

Statistically, I've done my best work at FC Bayern. I just feel really good here.

Everyone says it, but if you finish above United, you're going to win the league.

I'm proud, privileged, and overwhelmed by how many times I've played for England.

I did learn that there's a bigger picture than just being the best at your sport.

Right now you are in a completely different reality than you were 10 seconds ago.

I really hate drama. It's draining; it's mentally draining. It's a waste of time.

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