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.

You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.

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

Sometimes you feel the emotion. You think this might be my last pre-season or my last Champions League match. But, overall, those thoughts aren't important right now. But the time will soon come

When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, you're always only trying to make a nice goal'. But I said, 'Listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right?' It's not a lot. 'And how much space do you have above him?

So here, at Arsenal, we are often surprised when we are shown some of the newspapers, and at the bottom of an article there is a line saying if you know of anyone who had an affair with a player, call this number. It is very strange to us.

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