When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari. If you drive a Ferrari you put premium fuel in the tank, you drive onto the motorway and you floor the accelerator. Guardiola filled up with diesel and went for a spin in the countryside. If that’s what he wanted, he should have bought himself a Fiat from the start.

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

I like fireworks too, but I set them off in gardens or kebab stands. I never set fire to my own house.

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

I am very proud. It is always fun to win such a prize, to be chosen as Swedens best player a certain year.

That's how it is with the English: if you score against them you're a good player; if you don't, you're not.

You always need something to complain about. And if you can't come up with anything better, you come along with team leaders. I don't believe in this chitchat.
