I am a simple person, I try to do my best on the pitch and do nothing wrong both on and off the pitch.

Some players have to change their game in their careers. I did, and I like it.
I was sixteen when I converted to Islam. Beyond the fraternal aspect, my conversion did not change my life. I was already living by the same principles - being righteous, having values.
I had great moments in my life and I'm happy with what I achieved.
It is foolish to hold against me remarks that I never made.
As a player you just concentrate on your game.
I am shy, quiet and like spending time with my family.
I have been obsessed with the local cultures during my previous trips to the likes of Korea Republic, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Chinese Hong Kong and Macau.
I have never had a problem with the Jewish community, and besides why would I have?
I think Martin Keown was the toughest. I liked playing against him in training because I knew it was just like a game situation.
If one day I have to go to war, straight away right next to me, on the front line, I would put Patrice Evra. And there aren't many that I would put there.
When I was playing for Chelsea and Arsenal, we had a young team but also experienced players. You still have space for the youngsters to play, they just have to be strong mentally to compete every week.
I was very young when I was with Real Madrid and in some ways 'appreciated it and in others I didn't.
I missed out on the World Cup twice and it did not kill me.
I don't care about wages or fees, I just want to improve my football, which is a side to me that the fans aren't aware of.
I have no record of racism or antisemitism, there is no evidence to support it, not even a shred of evidence.
I have been impressed by Carlo Ancelotti, Kevin Keegan, Arsene Wenger, Guus Hiddink, Christoph Daum and Sam Allardyce.
When I reflect on my career I have no regrets.
I'd like to finish my career in Turin.
In football there are lots of origins, cultures, religions and no one feels left out. We all play together and we are all friends. Supporters see that and feel part of the same family, especially in England where you feel very welcome.
I love all the clubs I play for.
Shanghai is Asia's New York.
I've always had fond feelings about Asia.
We need to show character whenever we concede a goal and try to make a comeback.
It doesn't matter I have not always been at the biggest clubs.
When I left Arsenal I never said I didn't like England. I was very young and my problems were all in my head.
I was very young in the past at Arsenal, at Real Madrid as well.
I used to fast during Ramadan because I admired the people fasting around me. What made me convert was that I had that certainty that Islam was for me. I felt this relationship with God, and that enlightened my life. I had that conviction in my heart that that was my religion.
My time at City and at Bolton was wonderful. I met a lot of good people at both clubs.
At some point we must stop being paranoid and believing that we are all at war.
Why didn't I stay at Liverpool after having achieved what I wanted to do: to play, score, and of course to relaunch my career? I cannot answer that. It is better to put the question to Gerard Houllier because I really wanted to stay.
Honestly, when someone speaks to me about Juventus I try to change the subject immediately. I'm ashamed of the transfer!
I helped Real win their eighth Champions League title. I'm proud of that.
In Spain you can't do anything. If you drive, everyone recognises you; at a restaurant you have paparazzi outside.
I'd compare myself to Zinedine Zidane - a humble guy who just happened to be the best.
My quenelle was very misunderstood.
For me, ever since the South Africa World Cup, the French team is part of the past.
With Chelsea... I play in blue every weekend and that's more than enough for me.
When you have been coached by Ancelotti and other greats, it's hard to be coached by Domenech!
Rooney is a good player, everybody knows his quality.
It is always good to win a game.
I have never said I wanted to leave Chelsea.
Competition brings out the best in everybody.
When you play for a team like Chelsea you will have to fight for your place.
Sometimes to rest, even to watch your team-mates from the bench, is not too bad. It is part of the game and you try to be fresh when you come on the pitch.
I know I won't be a manager, I don't want to do it, never.
I have a very English coaching philosophy.
The one thing I can tell you is that I can't stand the English press, who cause me enormous problems on a personal level.
It seems that Gerard Houllier did not appreciate my personality. It bothers him to have someone around who could stand up to him.
When I knew I had the chance to play for Liverpool I couldn't refuse it.
