Chinese players are not as naturally skilled like South American or European players, like players who learned football when they were kids. They're not good.
Carlos Tevez
I have respect for all the clubs I used to play for.
There are three sportsmen: Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Lionel Messi. They perform with excellence, like most of us could never dream of.
When I first joined Manchester City, I was not 100 per cent fit.
I wish to play again for West Ham before I finish my career.
Lionel Messi, I never saw him in the gym. I've never seen him train in the stops or do technical exercises.
I am just a normal person, and it is normal to have quality time with my family.
Messi would never tell a coach who he has to play or not. I think he not only lacks the power to do that but also is not humanly capable of saying that.
I would like to play for a club who I feel have true ambition.
I was, in my first season, second top scorer, which is something people forget.
Of course you can never say zero possibility or 100 per cent possibility in football, because you never know what will happen because football changes so rapidly.
I like Manchester, I love the fans. They are great with me, the club is great with me. But I'm not happy if I don't play, and all the time I don't play.
I want to go back to Manchester and win the City fans back.
I love the English league. I think it's the best in the world, but I have a problem with Christmas and New Year's Day because you have to play.
In Argentina, I trained in the mornings, and I played a lot of golf.
After spending eight years in Manchester, I received a very warm welcome to Turin. The people are very easy-going, in contrast to other parts of Italy such as Rome or Naples, where passions run much higher.
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.
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.
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.
I did not transfer from United to City for the controversy.
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.
If things are not going well on the field, then it's up to me to lead by example.
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.
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.
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.
You have to do your talking on the pitch. I don't talk much in England - mainly because of the language.
I don't like to get involved in conflict.
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 grew up in a place where there weren't many opportunities if you didn't become a footballer.
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.
Street football is the greatest thing in the world. There is just you and your friends against the rest.
I won't have plastic surgery. You either take me as I am, or you don't.
In order to make history, you have to win the World Cup. It's not good enough just to reach a final.
My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City.
Me and my family all like Shanghai, and I'm slowly getting used to the city and the atmosphere.
He who doesn't love Messi knows nothing about football or about life.
I'm absolutely aware of the great effort Juventus Football Club has made to bring me here.
I do feel the obligation and desire to win the Scudetto with Juventus, and obviously everybody wants to win the Champions League.
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.
In Manchester, there are two restaurants, and everything's small. It rains all the time.
I get on particularly well with Patrice Evra.
Every single thing related to Old Trafford is amazing. When I was a little kid, I dreamed of playing in a real field, but I never imagined something as fantastic as this.
What's helped me is my childhood, my tough upbringing. I learnt a lot from that; it helps with any problems I might encounter.
For one thing, my English isn't fantastic, and communicating in the dressing room is not always easy.
I don't like making comparisons. You might say one slight thing, find yourself misinterpreted, and suddenly you're in trouble.
It's hard to say you're struggling if you're a professional footballer. Other people have far greater problems.
Sure, it was difficult when I first came, but I am very happy to be here, in England.
You must be in supreme physical condition. If your body isn't right, you cannot play in the Premier League.
I am a striker, a goalscorer. That is my art.
I especially enjoy fish and chips.
