I will be the one lifting that trophy, not Paolo Maldini. Imagine me hoisting the trophy. It is an image I have in my mind and I want to make it a reality. We have world-class players and, believe me, they are in the mood to do it. The atmosphere around the club at the moment is just top-class.

Everyone is going to be talking about Chelsea and Liverpool but the others are very tough teams.

In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for me.
