When I was playing for Chelsea, it was always tough to beat Albion.
The Hawthorns has a good atmosphere, like many of the Premier League stadiums.
I smile when I want to smile. I don't want to be forced.
Bolton was a family club and I liked it.
A lot of youngsters want to be footballers and a lot dont make it. It is very difficult but if your education is good and you work hard and do everything the best way, then why not?
Football is my life and when I am happy on the pitch I am happy off the field as well.
I think Martin Keown was the toughest. I liked playing against him in training because I knew it was just like a game situation.
I did very little at Real Madrid. I would have liked to do much more but I didn't get the chance.
With hindsight, if you want to play for Real Madrid, sacrifices need to be made but I was too young to understand. There are things I shouldn't have said or done. It was early in my career, maybe too early. I didn't know it was the only Champions League I'd win, for example.
Jurgen Klopp is a genius.
I don't miss playing for the national side, I am glad to be out of it.
I'm not going on the pitch just to score goals, I am going on there first to win and to play well and then, if I have the chance to score as well, that's even better.
For me the most important is on the pitch, I don't like too much speaking in the press. I will do the minimum. I will do it because I have to do it.
I know how to get the best out of the players.
I played and scored for all of the teams I played for except in Turin.
Being a coach is not the same as being a player.
I know the French mentality.
If one day I leave Shenhua, it will be the day I retire.
In football you need to be versatile sometimes, because the most important thing is to win games and enjoy your football.
