When Ronaldinho arrived at Barcelona, they did not win anything. After my arrival, we won it all.
I had to deal with it so often, I found ways of making a point against racism. When I played against Real Zaragoza, they chanted like monkeys and threw peanuts on the pitch. So when I scored, I danced in front of them like a monkey. When the same thing happened against Real Madrid, I scored and held my fist in a Black Power salute.
I'd rather sell groundnuts in my village than to play for a pathetic team like Chelsea.
Everything God gives me, I take, and he's given enormously during my career.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we must respect the decisions from the officials.
I experienced great sadness with our elimination from the 1990 World Cup, with many penalties. I still have that feeling of injustice in me.

I grew up in a family where my father always told me, defend your ideas when you think your ideas are good, and struggle to get your story written. And I've always fought for that.
Football is beautiful. Football is beautiful because whether you win, draw, or lose, you can go and shake your opponent's hand, whether they're white or black or red or blue.
My dream was to become a footballer, hope to become the best someday. And I worked for it. And I'll tell you that the work is the magic of success.
If one day God gives me the opportunity to coach Cameroon, it would be a great pleasure.
If you believe in something and have the strength not to give up, it can happen. I am the living proof it can be done.
Guardiola has never been a great player; he was just a good player.
With Barca, we won the Champions League after many years of disappointment, and the fans went delirious.
At Inter, I was the best-paid player in the world. But it's not a question of money, because when I go out onto the pitch, I only have one thing in mind - winning.
People can attack me personally, say what they want - I don't give a damn.
At Barca, we always have an obligation to win and to do it in style for our fans in the stadiums and around the world.
In all things, you need a good organization. You can have the best player in the world; if you do not have the best team, you will not win.
Football stadiums are just a reflection of what is going on in society. Many times in stadiums, people just feel more relaxed and say what they think when they're somewhere else.
All my coaches will tell you that I am a great professional.
