As everyone knows I've got a passion for horses.

I have always been confident that I would make it to the top.

The Spanish league is fantastic, but it has not the great passion the English Premiership has got.

Bayern Munich are probably the standout team on the planet.

Clubs don't like their players going off to play international matches and you can see a scenario where they eventually start to make it more difficult for international sides to call up players.

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

You are affected by the surroundings, the mood of people, by confidence. I am no different.
