In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.

But there is always that unpredictability about a derby match and that's what it was today.

I used to have a saying that when a player is at his peak, he feels as though he can climb.

Once you shake hands with the devil, you have to accept they are in control.
