Fabio Cannavaro

Sure, it is true that none of us is Superman. But when we stand together, we can achieve anything.

I consider Zidane to be an amazing player who has written football history.

If you have Messi or Ronaldo you start the game 1-0 up.

I like the Klopp mentality but at the same time, I like the Pep culture about football because always we need intensity with and without the ball.

Maradona, I think, is not a football player but he's something different. He was unbelievable.

My parents every day said, 'Ah, it's better you go to school, it's very important for your future.' But inside myself, I said: 'I think the good way is follow the football.'

I'm very proud because, all my life, I worked very hard to be a football player.

When you win the World Cup, you start to become a legend - for the people around the world, you are different.

If the opportunity came to manage Al Ahli then why not? I would also like to one day coach one of the globe's great teams such as Italy, Real Madrid or Juventus.

I played Zidane throughout my career, and for many players you reach a point where you learn lessons on how to handle them. But from the first match I played against him to the last, Zidane would find different ways to beat me.

When I first arrived at Napoli, I was the ball boy, which meant that I got to watch as the legends trained. Then, once I joined the youth team as a young teenager, I was a midfielder just like Tardelli.

I didn't start out wanting to be a defender. Who would want to be in the back-line after having watched striker Paolo Rossi score six goals in the 1982 World Cup?

When the national team plays, everyone feels a part of it. Everyone comes together. And when Italians come together, we tend to do well.

Juve have allowed me to show my worth, it has provided me with a challenge that has motivated me.

I can still remember watching Italy win the 1982 World Cup. I was just an eight-year-old kid in Naples, my hometown, watching the games with a bunch of people in the houses of relatives and friends. I can recall that when Italy scored, we would shout and hug, even though we did not all know each other.

Cassano? His talent has never been in question, but his character has. As Italian captain and a big admirer I can only wish him to control his nerves better.

Iniesta deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. To win it, you have to be lucky that the attackers have not done so well. If Messi and Ronaldo score 50 or 60 goals, they will always give it to them.

Del Piero is like Raul in Spain, he is the number one.

Messi is top but Maradona is another world.

I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambience and culture of football in England.

You know, when you are the Italian national team, all the time you need to win because for our history, it is important for us to try to win the World Cup.

Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.

As a defender, you can be many shapes and sizes. You can be short and fast. Or you can be tall and jump high. It doesn't matter. The only necessity is that you are confident when you take the pitch - because every week there is a new challenge.

For me, my passion is just to play the game, it doesn't matter if no one comes to the stadium to watch.

You always have to dream big and think big.

If you want to improve the football, of course you need to put attention on the academy, on the school, the facility.

Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of experience. He won the Champions League while at Milan, playing some great football in the process.

Personally, I like Jerome Boateng. He is physically strong.

A coach needs time to get to know the players, the environment, the fans and the culture of the club. You can't solve everything in one or two months.

Frank de Boer definitely showed in the Netherlands that he's a good coach.

In my career, Diego Maradona had the biggest influence on me.

I love Forlan. He runs a lot, shoots with both feet, puts pressure on and he is intelligent and fast.

I started playing football in the streets.

Beyond studying, though, I think a coach should mainly have knowledge of football: if you do not know what to say to the players then you are not going anywhere.

If you work in a certain manner, you don't make mistakes.

The arrival of Beckham at Milan is not just a matter of marketing.

Prandelli is a coach with great experience and he knows how to work with young people also.

Of course when you are starting to be a coach you want to do your best and my national team is my dream.

I'm Italian and the privilege of working in my home country would fill me with pride. However, the opportunity to work in a variety of countries, learning new cultures and footballing mentalities, is also very valuable.

Football is everything for me in my life.

You know I was a ball boy at the Italy v. Argentina semi-final in Naples in 1990 and playing in a World Cup final is something every child dreams about.

Of course I wish to achieve the same results as Marcello Lippi did in his career.

Going to Dubai represents a different way of life.

An experience abroad really enriches you.

A compact defense has always been the basis of Italy's team.

I never saw Pele, but I watched Maradona, for seven years I saw every game. He's not one of the best, he's the best.

I respect Messi a lot.

I don't drink or smoke.

I've always been strong physically and I think for a player what happens off the field is even more important.

Of course, we all know Italy is an amazing country. We have stunning coastlines and a scenic countryside. We have a climate that allows us to spend a lot of time outdoors. We have fashion, we have food. But life in Italy is so good that sometimes we tend to rest on our laurels.
