When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around. It felt like I had a lot of babies around me.

I don't need the Ballon d'Or to know I'm the best. It matters more to some players

I like being the one who makes a difference. On the pitch, I always try to create a special situation.

Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn't do auditions

Everyone is equal - a strange Swedish mentality.

England is a very strong league, with three or four of the best teams in Europe, but, if I had played there, I would have destroyed it, like I have everywhere else.

I can play in the 11 positions because a good player can play anywhere on the pitch.
