The manager can be criticised by the media for doing this or doing that, but it's all a matter of opinions.

A lot of Chelsea fans won't be happy that I'm saying this, but I enjoyed my time at Tottenham.

I am very proud of what I have achieved in my career, and I have had some amazing moments.

The main differences are their characters. Mourinho is more of a character than Guardiola. In a confrontation Mourinho would square-up and Guardiola would rather not have it.

I would say Pep Guardiola is slightly more attacking than Mourinho. But they're both high intensity, full-on on the training ground.

There are stages when you are disappointed when you are not playing. You make more out of it than what it actually is but in the end it's all down to yourself.

I just enjoy football when I am on the pitch.

Depending on the system we play, I can adapt to midfield or a more forward position.

I can play anywhere the manager would like me to play.

I have played for big clubs and I can cope with the pressure.

AEK Athens is a challenge for me, a different path in my career. I want to play a big part in the club's history. I don't like making promises but I will proudly wear the shirt.

I don't think the press in England will ever change. It's something that people in the spotlight have to live with.

Whether quality players become available or they'll be a good addition is not down to me. But you can't buy everyone in the world. You have to work with what you have and add quality to that.

I've played many games for Iceland and my father before me, so I have a sense of what football means to people at home.

It's fair to say, there's two clubs in England have been more to me than just football clubs. It's Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea. They are not just ex-clubs, they are clubs that I have feelings for, love for because of my time there.

Chelsea will always be my number one club in football.

La Liga is good too, but there's such a great intensity in England every week. It makes you push your limits and if you do well, it is very satisfying.

Drawing inspiration from minnows that have done well is an easy thing to say, but it doesn't work like that in sports.

Underdog success stories don't just happen, they have to be created.

No-one gave us a chance when we played Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in 2005.

I have been the biggest fan of Paul Scholes and I am sure that Scholes at his best could play in the Barcelona team.

I think Ryan Giggs at his best could easily play for Barcelona.

I don't think Sergio Busquets is the best defensive midfielder in the world but for Barcelona he is the perfect player because of the way he plays.

I don't know how other people see it, but I can't see United without Alex Ferguson.

You have to take every game very seriously.

When you're not happy in your work, it's difficult to get the best out of yourself.

It's not easy to teach what comes naturally.

I think I've shown that it doesn't matter where you are from, if you have talent, ability and dedication, you can go as far as you want.

I will have this feeling of wanting to play until my dying day, but physically it's not there anymore.

When you have a team that's successful everyone wants to find something to break that success.

I've always said I'm happy at Chelsea.

The footballing education in Spain is excellent, whether you are one of the bigger clubs or smaller clubs it doesn't really matter - the coaching is really good.

It can be tough, because watching your children play, you want them to do so well and it's tough to take as a parent. When you see them flying into a tackle, that's when the parent instinct comes in 'oh, don't get yourself injured.' You don't want anything to happen to them, you just want them to be happy and successful.

I remember when I was playing, the first phone call was always to my Dad, going through the game, how he saw it. We'd talk about general stuff, individual performance then team performance - and sometimes it was very positive, sometimes very negative.

Of course players like Ronaldo and Messi can change a game with one bit of skill.

I'm more of an admirer of Paul Scholes than I am of Ronaldo.

Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I've ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him I never felt I could get close to him.

In France I just didn't enjoy it. I didn't connect to my surroundings and didn't adapt to French football.

When Gianfranco Zola came into the Premier League he was just miles better than everyone else, talent wise, technique, the flair.

I was just happy to have played when I played.

When Frank Lampard joined, in 2001, I'd been at Chelsea for one season. We spent 11m on him. 11m back in the day was a lot of money.

Competition is only healthy.

Of course, it's hard when you are sitting on the bench and the team is playing well and you don't see yourself playing. But football changes very quickly and you have to make the most of it while you are playing.

I like to come and get the ball. And I'm not a natural goalscorer even though I've scored goals throughout my career.

I am greedy, in the positive sense of the word. I want to score in every game.

I have a big appetite for goals.

Barcelona are always used to having the best, most talented attacking players in the world.

If you wear the Barcelona shirt, you have to realise it is something extraordinary.

I always feel that when Willian and Hazard play, they both like the ball to feet.

In football anything is possible.
