Communication is important, and when you have an understanding with someone on the pitch, it is the most important thing.

Everybody speaks about City having lots of money, but it is not about that. It is about ambition, and I have spoken to Coach Mancini, and he told me, 'This is the best club for you.'

I have spent some of the best moments of my career at Manchester City, moments that I will never forget.

I know people will criticise when you play bad; that is part of this job, and I am fine with that. That is not a problem. The problem is the insults. That is what hurts the most.

I think I'm a born athlete. My coaches have told me my muscles and body structure are perfect for skating.

Commitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you're going to be a success, whether you're in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology.

The trouble for today's footballers is they have too many distractions. We used to get our old players coming to watch training with football magazines in their hands. Now, more often than not, they are checking the share prices.

Let's face it, there's just different access that young boys have to sport and teams than girls.
