I can't put this down. I'm reading it in Spanish but I am still having English lessons. It is a motivational book about basketball legend Michael Jordan. His determination was inspiring. It helps me focus and drives me on.Collection: Motivational
It is important to find a place where you feel trust, you feel belonging and stability.Collection: Trust
When you play, of course you want to win, but the most important thing about pre-season is improving your fitness.Collection: Fitness
I've been doing extra work but I always do. I want to feel at my best and I want to be ready when the gaffer gives me the chance.
My years at Barcelona are a big help. I spent four dream years there.
I didn't play much for Roma and arriving here at Milan is a step forward for me.
The No. 9, a team's centre forward, is a number that means a lot and, God willing, I hope to inherit it some day.
My only hope is to see more frequent game time and even play alongside Ibrahimovic. We have two different styles and we can complement each other well.
But I think that if a club like Barcelona sign a player, it is because he has the right qualities.
Barca have given me everything, and I feel at home here.
Feelings are above money.
Eventually, when I retire, I can say I've played at the Britannia Stadium on a Wednesday at 7 P. M. in the cold and wind.
You do not always have to play in the Camp Nous and the Old Traffords and with pleasant climates. It's different experiences that you take in... that's also a part of football.
I've learned that the most important thing in football when finish a race are the experiences.
I still feel it was a privilege to be a part of this team the past years, that I helped make Barca the best team in the world.
I hope my role is an important one at Roma.
There's not a single club out there that can compete with Barcelona.
I miss everything that surrounds the club. I miss my colleagues, my friends and everyone who cares for Barcelona.
The group of players that you see in the Barca dressing room is unique. There are a lot of homegrown players and others who really care for Barcelona a lot as well.
I am very happy and satisfied with my first year in Italy.
I am flattered Serbia are interested in me and for the great effort they are making. But I am Spanish and my desire is to play for Spain.
I was looking to be in a club where you feel the love, a family where everyone is fighting for the same thing. I'm like that as a person.
When I decide to do things in my life, it's because I feel it.
I am super happy to have finally scored in the Bundesliga. That makes me proud.
I made my debut very early and a lot of things happened to me at a young age, but I was there for the best time in Barcelona's history and played with the best players in the world.
Being a home-grown player, I achieved what I set out to do by playing and scoring for Barca. I consider I was a success.
I like to get the ball on the ground, make good plays and move the ball around the pitch quickly at a good tempo.
I like to play as a striker or secondary striker.
I am a striker or at least a playmaker behind the front man, certainly not a wide man. But with Rome and Milan, I was only playing on the wings.
My mission is to be kept on by Milan. Nobody wants to stay with the Rossoneri for only for one season.
I miss scoring lots of goals, but I have always thought that a striker should not be judged just by the amount of goals he scores. The work he does for the team is also important.
Messi scores three goals every game. If you score one goal, you're not Messi.
I thank God for having played for four years in the best Barcelona team in history, but playing in the Premier League is also very important.
I started very young and it is not easy to get to grips what I achieved at the age of 17.
One thing I've been taught from young is that you have to work hard, turn up to extra training sessions, etc.
My target is enjoying and proving to myself that I am progressing.
The footballer's career is very long and staying on the top for many years is always very difficult.
I chose Milan for many reasons. It is a great club and the team is made of an historic group of players.
I feel really proud of my career - more here in England than in Spain. There are different mentalities. Here the people respect you.
I love football, it's my life.
Those of us who have feeling, who are sensitive, who can be affected, need a good shield. Footballers are very young and they're exposed. Even at under-15s, players have Twitter and I'm sure they're already getting insults... it's ugly, it sullies society and football.
Anxiety affects everyone differently. I spoke to someone who felt like their heart was beating 1,000 times a minute. With me, it was a dizziness, feeling sick, constant, 24 hours a day.
And the most important thing isn't the trophies, it's the experiences, what you lived, what's here in your heart, what you know, what you live. No one can ever steal that from you.
In Italy, one game you win and score, you cannot go in the street because the people are so enthusiastic, and when you lose they go crazy. After the game they wait for you.
My first year I scored 10 goals in La Liga. Then people started saying 'yeah, the new Messi.'
In the end, I know my qualities and I know I'm not Messi. I'm Bojan.
I think when you are 17 you are very innocent.
Sometimes innocence is a good thing but I think life, experiencing different situations, different clubs, gives you a lot of knowledge.
It's a quiet life. Normally it's training, house, gym.
Some people like Messi didn't have to learn a lot as his is a natural style. But of course you can improve your technique, your football intelligence, your everything.
