Behind every kick of the ball there has to be a thought.

A lot of people say you always come back to what you are good at. Football has been 25 years of my life, so maybe I'll come back to it in some sort of way.

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

Arsene Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager, you have to put all your time into the job, and that would be difficult for me.
