For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.

My target is to make the players as rich as possible within the financial constraints of the club. My target is not to give them less money. I'm happy to make them rich.

If you have the money and you find the one player who can make you win and make the difference, no matter how expensive he is, you should do it. But there are not many players in the world who will make a real difference.

The best football players in the world still earn very little money compared to people who really earn money.

It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis.

In the game of football, you need to be strong, and at my position, you need to be able to put up a good fight. So I work on my upper body and lower body strength because your body's got to be able to last.

If you look at all the sports in China, the government is extremely involved and they are extremely proud of their athlete.

I'm going from Somerset Park one week to Wembley the next. It's crazy but that's football. You don't get to where you want to be without going through all these different places.
