I remember when I played for Barcelona. They had never had a shirt sponsor in their entire history. Barca's first sponsor was UNICEF - and that link-up generated huge awareness for a worthy cause. When a club that is so dominant in the game, like Barcelona, does something like that it can have a huge impact on the world that goes beyond football.

Over the course of my career, all the managers were people I have had great respect for.

You try to take little bits from every manager and you try to mould it into your way of playing.

When you're the manager of Chelsea, you are always under pressure as soon as things don't go smoothly as they would like.

When a new manager comes in, every player has a little question mark over his head, and you want to show your best stuff and want to impress.

Whenever I get an opportunity I'm determined to take advantage and know I have to do that.

You live and die by your goals. If you don't score, you quickly put yourself under pressure.

I think Guardiola puts more emphasis on possession of the ball and how can we dominate the opposition in possession and overload spaces where the ball is being played.

Intensity wise, very similar, very detailed. Guardiola would probably think more in terms of a solution on 'How can we attack in a certain way to beat the opposition?' Mourinho would be 'Result, result.'

Under Guardiola at Barcelona, it was definitely the most attractive football I played, with the style of play.

I just try to use my experience. That's what you do when you come to the end of your career.

I can easily see how young people can get sucked into gambling and I am happy to stand up as a warning to others not to get hooked.

Injuries came into play and in certain situations in the latter stages of my career I've found it difficult at times to settle in at clubs that I've been to.

If you're the manager in a situation like this, where you've got one, two, three, four players standing over the ball, and there is a question on who is going to take the penalty, don't you want your captain to step in and say, 'Listen, it's been decided before the game who is the penalty taker?'

We all want the headline and when you feel confident you just want to grab that headline and make it your own, but in a way it's disrespecting you team-mates.

I am strongly built, with the ball at the feet I can turn away from the defenders and score. Sure, I am not ultra quick, but I am not very slow, either.

Pace is in the mind many times. You've got physical pace but pace in thinking, in reading the game. That's always been one of my stronger points anyway.

It feels like home straight away again, which is a good thing. It's just a great feeling. Not only at the club, but the people here in Bolton are so friendly and we have such great memories, me and my family, from being here.

The pressure is extreme, it's the people's club, they are very passionate, and F.C. Barcelona is the heartbeat of the city. When you win, you can walk with a smile, but every loss is a minicrisis. People want success at a very high level.

At the end of the day, you can only use the players you have and play to their strengths.

The thing with Mourinho is that he is not only a great manager, but he is a real people's person.

You don't need me to talk about the qualities of David Beckham as a footballer. He's a player who is admired throughout the world. He's pure quality.

When I grew up, when I was playing in Iceland during the summer, we would play on gravel. It would be a treat for us if you could play on grass.

My father had played for the national team for 15 years.

In all honesty, of course it is lovey that your boys want to play football and can reach a certain level and keep your family name going. But I couldn't care a less whether they were footballers or not, I just want them to be happy.

Advertising is so influential. Everybody is affected by it because we see it on TV, on billboards, on football shirts. It's become a part of our everyday lives.

Maybe I'm not selfish enough for a striker but I enjoy football too much.

It has felt like a natural development to move to midfield. If there is a pass on, I will play it.

The atmosphere makes the Premier League special, the passion of the fans and waking up on a match day it seems the whole world is looking at the Premier League.

When I was with Chelsea I would probably have said I'll never play for Tottenham because of the rivalry but never say never in football.

I have always said it is good to come to Scotland and play. There is always a lot of atmosphere at the games.

When you play for Iceland I don't think there is often such a thing as a must-win game.

Barcelona Football Club is the heartbeat of the city. We win games and everybody is happy, there's a smile on people's faces. We don't win and they're sad.

Rijkaard is more relaxed and Mourinho shouts a lot, shows more emotion, but the basic ideas they speak about are the same.

Players all have big egos.

Footballers feel this immense pressure to perform and be at the top level all of the time. It can have an effect on you when things are not going right. Sometimes you look for something different to get that adrenaline rush or whatever.

You have every football fan, every kid in the world, with their eyes on the shirts of our biggest clubs every single day. A shirt sponsor is a strong message.

My situation wasn't great at Stoke in all honesty and I've got the opportunity to come here and impress the manager, get games under my belt and help Fulham push forward.

My main concern is to find something, in football or in life, that would give me 10 percent of the feeling or adrenaline or satisfaction of playing the game. Then I'd be a happy man.

If you're a country of 320,000 people you're always going to be the underdog, against the majority of teams anyway.

Whether I'm setting up goals or scoring doesn't really matter to me as long as the team is moving in the right direction.

Guardiola might be more of the silent type, thinking, an introvert.

Mourinho has got a bigger personality, a bigger character than Guardiola.

Maybe I'm one of those who just, without blowing my own horn, was an exceptional talent.

I've obviously worked with a lot of top managers.

You do always feel that with Hudson-Odoi on the pitch, Chelsea look like a better team.

As a young player coming through, you have to take your chances and use the opportunities well.

Sometimes the games just pan out that way. One team is putting pressure on the other and when you are under pressure, you have to defend. It is part of football.

As soon as your attention goes off Messi, he pops up and scores you a few goals.
