Edin Dzeko

I'm happy I've stayed because Rome has become my home and an indelible part of my life, in an almost unreal way. ”

For every player, it is important to be fit and have a good pre-season behind him. ”

I can just remember what I have seen, and then I often think about how I do well throughout the match, and then, if I miss one chance, everyone talks about the miss. Only that. ”

If you do not play well, it is normal that they criticise you. But criticism is part of the game, so you accept it. ”

If we start the season with negative thinking, we'd never win anything. ”

I will continue to be a big fan of Manchester City, to whom I wish all the best and many more trophies and happiness in the future. ”

We want to show the world that even if you go through some bad periods, you always have to think positive just to go forward. ”

Nothing compares to Rome. Nothing. People there are crazy about football - in a positive way. ”

Having been raised during the war, I know very well how childhood hampered by displacement, poverty, violence, and fear looks like. ”

I was six when the war started. It was terrible. My house was destroyed, so we went to live with my grandparents. The whole family was there, maybe 15 people all staying in an apartment about 35m square. It was very hard. ”
