I'm not a hypocrite and I'm a transparent person.

It's a gift to be offered the opportunity to play the World Cup.

I never take free kicks because it's not my job.

It is the dream of every player. Imagine winning the World Cup in your own country. It would be the happiest day of my career.

Here in the Premier League you need to be very quick mentally. Spaces are shorter and the game is much more tactical and tight.

I did not have to prove anything to people who doubted me, just to my team-mates and to Barcelona. The best thing is to do it on the field, with victories, with goals. But more than the goals is winning matches.

In my second season at Tottenham, things didn't go as I wanted but I accepted the offer from Chinese football and there I recovered my confidence and I won titles.

I've heard it said that I'm silencing the critics so many times but it's not that: I don't have to prove myself to anyone.

I'm happy to be scoring important goals in the national team and here in Guangzhou, too.
