I was fortunate to be raised in Seattle, which was amazing, but that doesn't take away from the fact I was still a black kid growing up in America.

You can see it with social media and things like that, back in the day it was harder to convince people that the police are wrong, which sounds crazy, but that's how it was back then.

I want to be in the World Cup.

I like Daniel Alves, I have him as my inspiration.

I love to compete.

When you sign players who are young and hungry, that's good for the side.

When you don't win anything, at the end of the day, you cannot say it is a good season.

Football is my passion, and I live for it.

Playing big teams is something I really enjoy - the bigger the team the better.

In football, any team can still improve, in every sense.

Personally, I don't focus much about the statistics of goals and assists. I always want to improve, but I'm not worried about statistics.

I have always been strong. My mentality is just that way; that's why I've been around so long.

When you see Pep on TV or read his words in the newspaper, it is the portrait of a man who is the ultimate professional. But when you work with him, you don't just come to see him as a coach. You learn about his qualities as a man. It is that side of Pep Guardiola that the people on the outside don't get to see.

At City, we don't just have successful people: we have great human beings who know that family is paramount.

Football is a changeable game. From one day to another, everything could change.

There is definitely a difference when you are fighting for a title against clubs like United or Real Madrid or Barcelona. They are so used to winning, it means that you have to have a different frame of mind when you challenge them because that's the only way to overcome them.

All I want to do is win the Premier League and Europa League - I don't stop to think about being named as the Player of the Year. It's not something that interests me.

I've been lucky: I've won a lot of medals, but I'd still like to win more.

I try to enjoy playing football and do my best for the team.

Thanks to the football, every time I go out and play, it releases the tension, and you forget about the problems.

Football is very simple for me.

It's always an honour to help the Anfi Group - a hotel timeshare company where my mother worked for many years and which I will always support.

I'm always proud to wear the colours of Spain.

I ask myself in every game to be the one to take responsibility.
