Going to Dubai represents a different way of life.
Fabio Cannavaro
I'm very proud because, all my life, I worked very hard to be a football player.
As a defender, you can be many shapes and sizes. You can be short and fast. Or you can be tall and jump high. It doesn't matter. The only necessity is that you are confident when you take the pitch - because every week there is a new challenge.
I have thought about moving to Dubai for a while. It's a city that I love.
For me, my passion is just to play the game, it doesn't matter if no one comes to the stadium to watch.
You always have to dream big and think big.
Sure, it is true that none of us is Superman. But when we stand together, we can achieve anything.
Iniesta deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. To win it, you have to be lucky that the attackers have not done so well. If Messi and Ronaldo score 50 or 60 goals, they will always give it to them.
If you work in a certain manner, you don't make mistakes.
When you win the World Cup, you start to become a legend - for the people around the world, you are different.
I didn't start out wanting to be a defender. Who would want to be in the back-line after having watched striker Paolo Rossi score six goals in the 1982 World Cup?
If you have Messi or Ronaldo you start the game 1-0 up.
Of course, we all know Italy is an amazing country. We have stunning coastlines and a scenic countryside. We have a climate that allows us to spend a lot of time outdoors. We have fashion, we have food. But life in Italy is so good that sometimes we tend to rest on our laurels.
Juve have allowed me to show my worth, it has provided me with a challenge that has motivated me.
When the national team plays, everyone feels a part of it. Everyone comes together. And when Italians come together, we tend to do well.
Size has never been a problem for me.
If you want to improve the football, of course you need to put attention on the academy, on the school, the facility.
A coach needs time to get to know the players, the environment, the fans and the culture of the club. You can't solve everything in one or two months.
Big or short, for me what was important was to win the game with my team.
When someone becomes a part of the Azzurri squad that has won a World Cup, they are like family, and they never abandon anyone.
Juventus in Italy are like Real Madrid in Spain, when you enter the team it feels different.
My parents every day said, 'Ah, it's better you go to school, it's very important for your future.' But inside myself, I said: 'I think the good way is follow the football.'
Cassano? His talent has never been in question, but his character has. As Italian captain and a big admirer I can only wish him to control his nerves better.
I have no regrets. I won with the most prestigious clubs in the world - Real Madrid and Juventus - and also with the national team. I won the Ballon d'Or and Fifa World Player at 33 years old.
You know I was a ball boy at the Italy v. Argentina semi-final in Naples in 1990 and playing in a World Cup final is something every child dreams about.
Maradona, I think, is not a football player but he's something different. He was unbelievable.
I think to reach a Champions League final isn't easy, whether it's in Europe or Asia.
Football is everything for me in my life.
I can still remember watching Italy win the 1982 World Cup. I was just an eight-year-old kid in Naples, my hometown, watching the games with a bunch of people in the houses of relatives and friends. I can recall that when Italy scored, we would shout and hug, even though we did not all know each other.
When I first arrived at Napoli, I was the ball boy, which meant that I got to watch as the legends trained. Then, once I joined the youth team as a young teenager, I was a midfielder just like Tardelli.
I played Zidane throughout my career, and for many players you reach a point where you learn lessons on how to handle them. But from the first match I played against him to the last, Zidane would find different ways to beat me.
If the opportunity came to manage Al Ahli then why not? I would also like to one day coach one of the globe's great teams such as Italy, Real Madrid or Juventus.
I watch every game in the Premier League and I like the ambience and culture of football in England.
I like the Klopp mentality but at the same time, I like the Pep culture about football because always we need intensity with and without the ball.
Messi is top but Maradona is another world.
I consider Zidane to be an amazing player who has written football history.
I've always been strong physically and I think for a player what happens off the field is even more important.
I don't drink or smoke.
I respect Messi a lot.
I never saw Pele, but I watched Maradona, for seven years I saw every game. He's not one of the best, he's the best.
A compact defense has always been the basis of Italy's team.
An experience abroad really enriches you.
Of course I wish to achieve the same results as Marcello Lippi did in his career.
I'm Italian and the privilege of working in my home country would fill me with pride. However, the opportunity to work in a variety of countries, learning new cultures and footballing mentalities, is also very valuable.
Of course when you are starting to be a coach you want to do your best and my national team is my dream.
Prandelli is a coach with great experience and he knows how to work with young people also.
The arrival of Beckham at Milan is not just a matter of marketing.
Beyond studying, though, I think a coach should mainly have knowledge of football: if you do not know what to say to the players then you are not going anywhere.
Sure it's a dream to coach Napoli as well as the national team.
I started playing football in the streets.
