I have dreamed of playing in the World Cup, and the earlier we can win our path to Germany the better.

When I was a child, it was my dream to be a professional footballer. When I was 14 I visited Milan's San Siro stadium and remember thinking how unbelievable it was. From then onwards I vowed that one day I would be playing there - and I am very proud that I achieved this and also for everything else I have managed to achieve in football.

I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time. Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.

In the Champions League it is tough because you are up against teams who don't let you off with any mistakes, ... It is vital for us to get off to a good start at the San Siro to get a grip on the group.

Yes, I did get such an offer. As soon as an opportunity arises for the Prime Minister - he is a very busy man - the [baptism] ceremony will take place.

We must now concentrate on the domestic league.
