I have been very fortunate to be successful in business, and I believe that it is right that people who have this type of wealth should give something back into society.

It was always a challenge for me to prove that a Russian financial investor can be as successful in the West as back at home in Russia.

Making money from money is like aerobatics.

It is my dream to have a controlling stake of Arsenal.

Sports is all about money.

The most important thing in Guardiola's theory is to play football, and this always stays the same. The basic idea is always the same, but different opponents offer different space which you can use to play in.

In any sport at the top level, if you don't put in the hard work, you can be sure someone else is. It is a vicious circle.

I played street football from the age of seven and later went into the varzea. Sometimes I'd play as many as three or four matches a day: I couldn't get enough of it. It'd get to the point when my muscles would cramp up.
