I think the strength of the man is to have the right balance. Not to be so high when you win; not to be so down when you lose.

I never hitched my wagon to anyone, so what I achieved over the years was done with only my results on the field.

Football is about dreams, about feeling a special sensation, giving a surprise, and inspiring joy.

What matters is getting the best out of the squad you have.

Globalisation has changed the world, and football is the perfect instrument to set an example and to help adapt to this new world.

I've been playing football for 23 years and with more than 30 nationalities; that has been a pleasure.

My dream is to get the young people off the streets, to make it possible for them to play football in the stadium instead.

Scoring goals comes and goes with time, but the most important thing is that we continue creating chances. The entire team must work, and we then have to score goals.

Everyone dreams of winning a European Cup final, and I was lucky to do it at just 19.

Great moments of entertainment, great football, unforgettable evenings. I think that's what it's all about: experience, emotions, and the special touch that the Champions League brings on and off the field.

I would love to play in the Premier League; which player wouldn't? I am happy at AC Milan, but never say never.

When I am in Holland, I feel negative feelings. That must change.

Rijkaard was my idol, but we have different qualities, even if at the beginning we played in the same position.

I'm sure I will win a title with Inter.

Why does everyone love the Champions League? It's because it's exclusive. Even if you win it, you only play 13 games in that competition in a season.

People don't come to the stadiums for every match because if there is a game every three days, it is difficult. You need to make games more exclusive and make them more special.

I believe in a European League. I would like to see more quality in the game, and fewer games mean more quality.

Bolatelli is an exciting player, but his stupid attitude sometimes attracts attention from the crowd - nothing more, nothing less.

There is no racism in Italy.

I have the quality and the experience and can give that little bit extra to the squad.

Coming back to AC Milan was like I'd never been away, actually: you know everybody; everybody knows you.

The DNA of AC Milan is something I have inside me.

I was born a trequartista, and have adapted myself to playing in other roles.

All the games we play are worth the same because we can aim to get points in the league. Milan wants to fight until the end in the league and wants to compete with everyone until the last match day.
