If you want to be successful, you need to work as a team.

It is very difficult to leave your team for a month to play in the African Nations. But you are playing for your country, for your father, for your family, for your pride.

When you don't play, you need to support the team and your team-mates need to feel that you are behind them fully.

Ramadan is an important part of Islam, and when you are observing it, God is happy with you and you have to have a big celebration.

My dream is to win the World Cup with an African team, for my continent.

Every season when I win a trophy I'm just so happy.

I love the FA Cup.

It's very important to know what you are facing, whether you are going to be part of the team or just a squad player.

It's not easy when you have to make a lot of changes.

I am passionate about the FA Cup.

I won the title with Arsenal in 2004 and it is harder to defend it the following season.

Always, always, for a team like City, it's difficult to go for a season without winning one trophy.

To win the World Cup is not about one player, it is about a squad.

I think you say that strikers win you games, but defenders win titles and I think that's really important.

When I went to Arsenal I was working really hard on the weights, as Arsene Wenger is very keen on that.

We all want to be champion.

You have to build your squad every year to do better; to win the Champions League is very difficult as we have seen.

For me, life is about being happy. Life is about enjoying and that's it.

Individuals are very important but team spirit is the key - it is the most important thing.

When you play against a team such as Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea, you never know what will happen. But the key to the season is to win the games that you expect to win.
