I always try to do my best. Sometimes is that enough to get a good result, sometimes not, but I never give up, and I never will.

I'm really happy here at City. It's a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time - I can't see any place better than here.

United always had that flag which counted the years City were without a title, making fun of our fans. After the 6-1, they were quiet!

I still have a home in Sarajevo, and there is a room where the walls are covered with football jerseys. One is a Milan shirt with Shevchenko's name and number on the back. It is an original from one of his Serie A appearances, and he has autographed it. It has pride of place. It really is my prized possession.

I owe Wolfsburg everything. Without them, I would not have had the chance to play for Manchester City or Roma.

When you're a young boy, you don't think; you just go for it. When you have more experience, you have to play more with your head.

That was always special, playing Manchester United. I loved the feeling of the derby, that pressure, the atmosphere around it. And I did have some good matches there, didn't I?

I know people will criticise when you play bad; that is part of this job, and I am fine with that. That is not a problem. The problem is the insults. That is what hurts the most.

To be honest, I don't feel like I am able to say that I had a childhood, not in a way normal kids my age had. I had something that was specific to Bosnia in '90s, something I call a period of survival.

I think the No. 9 will always be in football. You need the proper No. 9s in football; that's my opinion.

English Premier League is much harder and quicker, and also, the referees are totally different because in England, they don't whistle after every small contact like in Germany.

After I finish with football, I will definitely go home. I won't stay in England, but I like it here, and I'm happy I'm doing what's best to give everything on the pitch, and then when I can, I relax. But the only bad thing is here maybe the rain is much more than in my country, but everything else I am happy with.

I started to play football when I was about 10; my father brought me to one school because there were more pitches where we could play.

When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since.

If you do not play well, it is normal that they criticise you. But criticism is part of the game, so you accept it.

I can just remember what I have seen, and then I often think about how I do well throughout the match, and then, if I miss one chance, everyone talks about the miss. Only that.
