Serie A is a great tournament with many excellent players.

When the locker room needing shaking up, I did it. I remained myself, a leader, until the end.

When I arrived, Bayern were sitting at 14th place in the Bundesliga and weren't in the Champions League. Twelve years later, I left with 23 titles.

I want to win as many titles as possible with Bayern Munich.

When I'm on the pitch I always give everything for my team.

Football is my life, I love it.

In Europe, Bayern is my last club - 100 per cent.

We have to play as a team every game.

I am very motivated, I always want to play.

People would say: 'Look what he has on his face, look at his head. What is this scar? It's so ugly.' Wherever I went, people would look at me. And not because I was a good person or because my name is Franck or was a good footballer, but because of the scar.

I just want to play for a competitive team that will offer me the best possible opportunity to win titles.

Bayen need quality, you have to invest and upgrade!

I am simply happy in Munich.

The people who know me know: I am a good guy with a big heart.

If someone was ever racist towards me, I would go wild.

The first season in a new country like England is very difficult.

I was so happy to finish my first season in England with two trophies.

I believe my chances of making the World Cup squad will improve if I join City. My exposure would be better because Brazil is biased towards the Ukrainian league.

There are a lot of people in England with good football knowledge.

Champions League matches are not always played on good pitches.

The first time was in Brazil, and the second time was when I was playing for Shakhtar against Inter in Milan. Fans were banned from the stadium on both occasions, and it is different. You have to keep your concentration on the pitch and try to win the game.

It is not easy to play two games, travel, and keep the same performance in 48 hours.

In Ukraine as well as in Brazil, Manchester City is now considered one of the best teams in the world, and after I signed, people back home in Brazil congratulated me for signing for one of the top teams in the world.

My first aim is to play well for my club, Manchester City. If I do, I am sure that will come to the attention of the national manager.
