Because people have read those things in the newspapers, they think it is true. Ten years ago all these things I have just mentioned would have upset me.

I personally think that we can win the World Cup. We are improving with every game. With such a young average age in the squad we can only carry on improving.

Of course I have the odd bad game like other players. But I can't accept that. Especially when things don't go right for United. It all means so much to me to be succesful here. It drives me crazy at times.

I think we have really integrated well around Manchester. This is the place where we feel at home. We like it here, we love the English way of life and we prefer it much, much more than the south of Europe.

Messi is on a different level. The fact he is doing what he is year after year says that he is the best of all time.

In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland.

Most of the pressure comes from myself, not from others. I don't need a manager or a pundit to put pressure on me. I do all that myself before others do it.
