The atmosphere generated by the fans in Celtic's stadium for our visit was the most impressive I've ever witnessed. The grounds of Liverpool and Manchester United are good and the hostile feeling of playing against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu is also excellent, but the atmosphere against Celtic was the best.

I would loved to have played with Scholes. He plays the game the way it should be played and at his peak he was the best midfield player in the world.

The way I see it, Messi is the best player in history. He is the one who changes the course of games; he's the best. There is no comparison in my view; he's the world number one and by a margin.

I liked the Paul Ince and Roy Keane partnership Manchester United had. They would have been my team had I moved to England.

I like to read the papers. I make my living from football, and I like to know what's going on.

In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is SCHOLES

I’d love to be faster. Physically I’m limited, but I’ve survived by using my head.
