I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.

Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Paul Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is the one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength, and he is a genuine competitor.

I have the possibility to watch Messi in training each morning, and because of what he demonstrates he is the best player in the world

In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen.

And I don't watch cricket. How can you like a game that requires you to take four days off work to follow a Test?
