It is important to find a place where you feel trust, you feel belonging and stability.
Stoke City gave me the opportunity to play in the most competitive league in the world, and I have only words of gratitude for their trust and for the way they have treated me.
It is very uncomfortable to be dizzy 24 hours a day.
I can't put this down. I'm reading it in Spanish but I am still having English lessons. It is a motivational book about basketball legend Michael Jordan. His determination was inspiring. It helps me focus and drives me on.
I feel really proud of my career - more here in England than in Spain. There are different mentalities. Here the people respect you.
There's not a single club out there that can compete with Barcelona.
For me, what makes Liverpool special is that they are a team that works very well on the lines, very compact, in which everyone attacks and defends.
I am flattered Serbia are interested in me and for the great effort they are making. But I am Spanish and my desire is to play for Spain.
In Holland, I have got the buzz back playing as a centre-forward, which is where I perform best. Ajax always appealed to me from when I was young and they gave me a chance to play in the Champions League too.
I chose Milan for many reasons. It is a great club and the team is made of an historic group of players.
I like to get the ball on the ground, make good plays and move the ball around the pitch quickly at a good tempo.
I made my debut very early and a lot of things happened to me at a young age, but I was there for the best time in Barcelona's history and played with the best players in the world.
I was called up for Spain against France, my international debut, and it was said that I had gastroenteritis when I had an anxiety attack. But no one wants to talk about that. Football's not interested.
Eventually, when I retire, I can say I've played at the Britannia Stadium on a Wednesday at 7 P. M. in the cold and wind.
One thing that I like from a coach is that they don't put up too big a distance between the player and the trainer.
When you are 17, you don't know what pressure is, because you play with the best team in big stadiums with big players. But when I look back now, it's difficult for a 17-year-old to get by and deal with the whole situation.
My Italian adventure was positive because I improved a lot in tactical terms, most of all defensively, which is something I hadn't worked on quite so much.
I learned and played with the very best like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.
Messi scores three goals every game. If you score one goal, you're not Messi.
It's not good for anybody if they're out of a team. No one is happy when they're not playing but the most important thing in that situation is to be strong and to work hard.
