My goal is to stay here at Chelsea. Unless Chelsea does not want me anymore - then I'd have to find another club!

It doesn't matter where we play. It doesn't matter whether the season has finished or not. We have to play the same way, stay focused all of the time and go there to win.

It is difficult to stay motivated when you cannot win a title anymore.

When you win, you win together and when you lose, you lose together too.

Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo? The three of them are exceptional, they have a lot of quality and they have their differences.

I always liked watching Ronaldo and Ronaldinho; they were the players who I dreamt about meeting. They inspired me a lot in my own style of play.

It's difficult when you start to play football. My boots were much worse.

A lot of people they say a lot of things in the press, but I never said that I want to leave Chelsea, never.

Ronaldinho and David Beckham, they took free kicks and took them very well, so there are some players I always try to follow and to learn important things from so that I am able to score goals.

I kept an eye on Chelsea's fortunes after they first tried to sign me.

Mourinho is a fantastic coach and won everything wherever he went.

Growing up was very difficult.

Diego Costa is the one who plays around a lot, who jokes a lot in the dressing room. It's just his way, joking around with all of us, every hour of every day.

It is totally different to play in the Premier League to the Champions League.

Always when I play I want to play well and make a difference.

My dream is to play with the selecao in the World Cup in Brazil and I will have more chance to realise the dream if I play for a big team.

Of course I want to play every game, but only 11 can start.

I think every player thinks in a different way.

Teams from Ukraine and Russia are getting better all the time.

On the pitch we tend to forget the things that happen off the field. I try to focus a lot on what I'm doing.
