Carlos Tevez

As a kid, I would never have imagined I would live in England for four years. I am very happy and contented that my daughter is growing up in a country as developed as this one.

It's hard to say you're struggling if you're a professional footballer. Other people have far greater problems.

I'm not exactly an example of how to learn English; I just can't get it into my head. I'm learning hardly anything, truth be told.

I don't like to get involved in conflict.

You simply can't get inside the heads of other people and say to them, 'Look, I went through some rough times.' It's impossible to explain everything the streets taught me, and that was quite a lot.

City's boss and owner came with a very good proposal. They showed me that City has the ambition to be one of the biggest clubs in the world. This made it easy to make the move. Money was never important.

I wish to play again for West Ham before I finish my career.

City showed me their ambition to be one of the biggest clubs in the world, and I was happy to join.

I grew up in a place where there weren't many opportunities if you didn't become a footballer.

I am not as dangerous as I used to be. I am not as effective in the penalty area any more. That is something I have lost and something I have to get back. I used to score better goals, great goals. But something strange has happened.

I don't like making comparisons. You might say one slight thing, find yourself misinterpreted, and suddenly you're in trouble.

Sometimes in a game - even with the best will in the world - a striker can drift out for 10 minutes and then come back into it.
