I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

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

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way...

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.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.

Being faster would probably make me better at football.
