How can you not score goals in Barca! While defenders have trouble dealing with Messi, Villa and Bojan, they forgot about me.
You can always improve with the team. There are tactical things, finishing in front of goal, speed as well.
Leo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Eden. Every year, you look at their numbers - score goals, assists, minutes - to see they play very well.
It's always going to be difficult to compete with a player of Lionel's ability, but Eden has all the qualities to do exactly that.
If you are a big player you will always have a lot of pressure on you. It's the same for Eden, just as it is for Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.
I had offers from other English clubs - Manchester United, City and Chelsea, who were the club that more rapidly resolved my transfer and the one that showed more interest in me.
Maurizio is very clear with his ideas and that's good for me because I run, press high and recover the ball.
The atmosphere in the Premier League is fantastic, the stadiums are always full and it's an attractive league for spectators.
To me, Messi is better than Maradona. I play with him, I see him every day, and to me he is the best.
A change is always difficult for a player and his family. You are starting from zero and you have to adapt to a new league.
Cesc is a great player, one of the best midfielders and he creates chances. For a forward, he is a great player to have.
It would have been easy to stay at Barca, appear in the team photo, keep winning titles and earning money. I had a good life, but I felt I should leave. My life was comfortable off the pitch, but I wanted to keep playing.
Lionel Messi is an excellent teammate, he's a fantastic guy. We lived through a lot together, a lot of games, a lot of goals - he knows me well.
I've had an incredible reception at Chelsea. John Terry is an exemplary captain, who has treated me very well since I arrived.
I played for so many years in Barcelona, and I have so many friends there, and a lot of good memories of my time at that club.
When a coach trusts you enough to take you from the youth team and put you into the first team, one of the best teams in the world, it's not easy.
Even when you think you should be playing more, you have to stay positive for when the opportunities arise.
Of course, I want to play every game but you have to accept rotations and understand that other players are in good form. Football's a team game.
I try not to have nerves. You have to be cold-blooded. You have to think, to look at the goalkeeper: how is he positioned? You study them, you know about them, even if there isn't always time, even if it's sometimes intuition. You look to see where he is.
If I have children, and they were supporters of Madrid, it would be very unlucky, but they would be brought up knowing about Barcelona.
I left Barcelona because I was brave. Neymar arrived and I played less. These things happen in football.
