Drogba is a fighter. He is the kind of player I would say 'With you I could go to every war.'

Yes, Manchester United are the best team in England, but you have to ask how good has the Premier League been since I left? If I was at a top club in England I think the title race might have been a lot closer this year.

Sometimes you see beautiful people with no brains. Sometimes you have ugly people who are intelligent, like scientists.
