I'm a professional. I have to do my best.

I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.

Through Common Goal, we're creating a collaborative way for football to give back to society.

I always said I was very grateful for Chelsea. I spent an amazing time of my career there, we won a lot of trophies, and I think I became a better player. I have great friends in the club, and I always wish the best for them.

It's part of the sport, getting hit.

Well, I would want 'Race 3' to change the course of my career, but whether that will happen is something which we will know only when the film releases.

Writing keeps my mind occupied during the down time in my acting career. Even when I am working, there are times when I have multiple days off each week. Also, the writing allows me to 'do' movies that I would never do as an actor.

When I was a youngster, my dream was to play in the first team. I was constantly thinking, ‘Will I make a career in football? Am I going to have to go out and get a job?'"
