Do I enjoy the aggression of English football? No. I like to play football. I like to score goals. I like to do things well.
I like English football, always have. It's just that people go on about the World Cup in 1986 and then I'm seen as the real bad boy.
I played with Michy for Belgium. He is still young; he can finish and is very good. He just needs to adapt to English football, and he will. He is intelligent and a good player.
I have always had the dream to play in English football and now I'm going to make it true.
I always say the Premier League is the best in the world, and I still feel it is an honour to be playing here, but I think English football suits my game. Football is more physical here; the ref is not whistling every foul.
My process to adapt to English football has been very good.
English football has an enormous following across the world, not just because of the players but because of its history, its tradition, the excitement, the capacity crowds.
German football is like English football. The Germans and the English do not play like a Brazilian side. They have to improve, bring up their young players, who have character.
Looking from the outside at English football, at Spanish football, it's more interesting, and they have the champions and the celebrities that they want to see. But with the passion that Italians have for football, the pride that they have, I don't think the game will stay that way.
English football is different: always on the attack. Although one thing is clear. The best football is the Italian.
