I've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.

But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

Everyone's got unfinished business with Barcelona. They're the greatest team in the world.

I don't think Wayne Rooney would be affected if you booed him, that's just how he is, but others go under. They really suffer with it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle... now. I've become tougher as I've got older.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

You remember the finals you lose as much as the ones you win.

I always wanted to be a winner, to score goals. There was no massive bravery in terms of my mum passing away and stepping up. I just wanted to score. I know everyone would have given me a pass on it if I hadn't taken it. But I'd have had the hump with myself if I'd shirked it.
