Chelsea are champions of Europe, and there is not much more to say than that. Even after winning the Champions League, they still go and sign players of the highest quality. Their ambition is clear.

If Monaco retain the ambition of winning trophies in France and Europe - and that's why I came here - I will be delighted to stay.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I know that my career is up for public judgment, but I also know that in football, things change.

I have always been able to overcome difficulties during my career.

When the opportunity came along to do the reality show, it was just a very exciting time. We really never thought about how it would pan out for the entire family but just knew that it was going to be a great journey.

I like to have some privacy, especially where my family is concerned, so when I'm recognized, I'll usually say something like 'I get that all the time' or 'Theo Epstein? Who's that?'

My mom broke the mold. She put my brother and I first, always, and worked her fingers to the bone trying to provide for us. She taught us right from wrong and gave us very strong morals and values and belief in family, things that have stayed with me.

My best career decision was probably not giving up when I wanted to. God as well as my family and friends were there for me during my toughest times.
