I have found serenity at Monaco.
I have learned to make a lot of effort and sacrifice for this sport, and now I can say it's paying me back. So it is important to always show determination and effort on the pitch.
I've always loved the club. Kaka was my role model when I was young, and my aim now is to go down in Milan history.
A champion's strength comes from never being contented.
I feel a great kinship with my origins, even though I only learned a few words of Arabic.
I'm an attacker, and forwards always want to score.
The Egyptian FA have tried to persuade me to play for them, but all I'm dreaming about is the blue jersey.
I am tied to my father's land and am happy to visit relatives in Egypt, but I feel Italian and was never remotely tempted when Egypt asked me to play for them.
I scored my first goal with the national team against France.
Competition is normal at a big club, but I've never been worried about it.
I'm very attached to my roots, but I feel Italian more than anything else.
With time, I'll learn to do more things, different things.
With myself, Mario Balotelli, Robinho, Alessandro Matri, Giampaolo Pazzini, and now Kaka, we will be too strong.
I am gratified by Arsenal's interest, certainly, but my objective is to come back for Milan and do well at Milan.
My mother lives with me in Milan, while my father travels to and from Savona. My parents take care of my money, too.
The goals will come; we just have to think about working ahead of the next game.
