At 21, Real Madrid or Barcelona would have been more difficult for me. If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place in the starting team, and my priority is to play.

Real Madrid is the Ackee,Barcelona, the saltfish, Manchester United is the Fire that cooks it.

I have always thought if there is a game, and there have been a lot of fouls on me, then I have been playing well for the team, so that means we're having a good match. You can win a free-kick when there's a foul, and that's a chance to score a goal.

I never thought about money; otherwise, I would have left aged 26 when Real Madrid and Barcelona wanted me.

The best managers out there at the moment are Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho but they are at other clubs - Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Winning one league title at Roma, to me, is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.
