I have been lucky to win trophies. That is my aim.

You just want to play. You don't think about the money, how many followers you've got on Instagram. You just want to make it. You don't understand the demands, how intense it is at times - the scrutiny you're going to get.

When you've got certain people like Jay-Z wanting to work with me, then it makes you think people do love me.

I can picture it now, where I grew and me playing in the cage where I used to play. To see what I've achieved and where I've been, the countries I've seen, tournaments I've played in, players I've played against, it's incredible.

I've been to so many beautiful countries and never got the chance to see them.

I don't think it's my personality to be going around telling people what I'm doing.

I've got the chance to make history, and that means such a lot to me.

I don't really like seeing myself on TV doing interviews.

No players want to hear their own fans booing the players, booing the team, but football is a hard game, and you can't win everything.

As players, you never make one trophy a priority.

Of course I'm a winner. I always want to win.

I love Chelsea. I've been here seven years now, and I'd love to stay here as long as I can.

I'm not a diva, I'm not an egotistical guy that comes and thinks he's bigger than anyone.

For me, above everything else, I want to win another title.

I just play my football, and if I can help people, then I help people.

Of course you don't want to hear racist chants, but sometimes, as a player, you have to take it.

At the end of the day, I'm human. I'm English - I was born here. Of course I'm a different colour from you, but I'm still human. The main thing is, I'm human - like everyone else. Because I'm a different colour doesn't mean there is a difference.

Gary Neville said he thought it was a waste of time playing for England because he has not won anything. I kind of understand where he is coming from. But the players we have here, a lot of them have won things and have the attitude that we need to win.

A good coach is good in the management of his men; he gives all of his players the desire to fight until the last.
