At 26 or 27, I was fatter than anyone.

I have no problem with Sir Alex Ferguson.

I am not preoccupied about my future.

In every team, you have to win the respect of your team-mates, working a lot and really sweat blood.

I want to thank Manchester United, David Gill, Alex Ferguson, and the fanbase for two years there, but this is my new life, and I am very happy to be with Manchester City.

City's boss and owner came with a very good proposal. They showed me that City has the ambition to be one of the biggest clubs in the world. This made it easy to make the move. Money was never important.

There's no need for City to make me have two training sessions a day.

Salary matters shouldn't be told to everyone. It's a matter of respect for my teammates.

Football is only about money, and I don't like it.

I don't want to play anymore. I'm tired of football but also tired of people who work in football.

I will give everything to help City become one of the biggest and most important clubs in England - and win some trophies.

I'm excited about working with Mark Hughes and building a good relationship with him.

City showed me their ambition to be one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I was happy to join.

I am not as dangerous as I used to be. I am not as effective in the penalty area any more. That is something I have lost and something I have to get back. I used to score better goals, great goals. But something strange has happened.

I do not speak very often to the press. I just have it in my head. I do my talking out there on the field, which is the most important thing.

I'm really happy to be here at Juve. It's a really big satisfaction for me.

I especially enjoy fish and chips.

I am a striker, a goalscorer. That is my art.

You must be in supreme physical condition. If your body isn't right, you cannot play in the Premier League.

Sure, it was difficult when I first came, but I am very happy to be here, in England.

It's hard to say you're struggling if you're a professional footballer. Other people have far greater problems.

I don't like making comparisons. You might say one slight thing, find yourself misinterpreted, and suddenly you're in trouble.

For one thing, my English isn't fantastic, and communicating in the dressing room is not always easy.

What's helped me is my childhood, my tough upbringing. I learnt a lot from that; it helps with any problems I might encounter.
