Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.

I'm happy here, and why change when you love the club and the club's in a really good position right now.

Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.

Having grown up watching Barcelona, Elen gets a bit annoyed watching me if I don't do flicks and tricks like Ronaldinho. I have to explain you can't do that all the time in a game!

Obviously, it has taken time to work with the players around me and with so many new faces coming in the summer, in a way it's been more difficult.

Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

People had said to me New York is kind of cutthroat and people walk past you on the street. I find it the opposite. I find that people want to talk.
