Football in England is much more direct that in Spain - not just in terms of tactics or style but in the overall approach.

When you experience playing in two different leagues, you learn to adapt; you pick up elements from the best virtues of each culture.

It's an honour for any player that a club of the prestige of Manchester United should follow them, and that, in itself, is enormous praise.

My life has always gone step by step.

Why did I leave Valencia? Because the club needed me to. I was happy there and wouldn't have left, but the situation the club was in demanded it.

One of the things I did well as a young kid was to link well with the rest of the team, so I reckon it's something which is natural for me.

Spain is such a competitive league, and for the players to give up La Liga, it's such a tough decision.

I've always said I'm very happy at City.

I've always said that I'd like to play for Las Palmas - my local team.

I'm a very quiet person, and I always try to take the pressure off myself before games.

After winning such an important title as the World Cup, to win the Premier League and to see supporters in Manchester who have waited so long to win it would be important to me.

I think that by playing centre midfield in the middle of the park, I'm doing something which comes naturally to me.

I'm very happy to be at City, and I would like to continue there for as long as possible. It obviously depends on my health, my quality on the pitch, and if the club want me to stay. I would like to be there until the end, but the Premier League is such a hard league to play in. It is much more physical than somewhere like La Liga, so it depends.

I'm confident I can be a success in English football.

The big difference between league football in England and Spain is that more teams compete here. In Spain, it is usually only two teams going for the title, which is not necessarily a bad thing because you get great matches between the two, but I think the English league is better for being more competitive.

With football, you can never predict what's going to happen.

Someone from the family is always with me in England, and for me, that's the perfect life.

If I had to return to Valencia, I would not rule that out.

The aim for the future is always to win titles, become champions of the Premier League, and more.

I am an attacking midfielder, and I have scored goals, but I want to score more and win more.

I like to play in the middle, even though I can play on both wings.

Every derby match is different, just like every season is different.

The way I like to play, it really helps when I have more people around me to combine with.

I am not too worried about not scoring many goals as long as someone else is.
