Mourinho is the best coach in the history of football.

I sent my Christmas wishes to him, but he didn't answer. He's the world's best coach, but as a man he still has to learn manners and respect.

When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.

Mancini is lucky. He has an owner [Sheikh Mansour] who speaks little and asks only: "What do you need?"

I don't follow politics; it doesn't interest me. So why should I vote?

I know I have a responsibility as a role model to children and I try to fulfill that.

I know some players like being the centre of attention and I admit that when I first became a player I liked fame, too. But that feeling lasted only for three months. Then I realised what it was really like to be the centre of attention all the time. It isn't all good.
