I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

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

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.

Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.

If I could have been anyone in the world, it would have been Ronaldinho. He's fantastic, I love watching him.

There's so many kids out there and it's such a cut-throat world. I've seen a lot of my mates, you know, who are better players than me at a certain age, and they're not in football now.
