Pedro
Time passes for every player.
I had 11 or 12 years in Barcelona, my family is there and also many friends. The fans loved me, I felt highly valued throughout the club and it is always hard to leave the club of your dreams.
It is complicated, but I've always said that I would have liked to retire at Barca.
Sometimes I play on the right, sometimes on the left, but wherever I play I will give my best.
I have helped Barcelona win titles and I want to do exactly the same thing at Chelsea, because ultimately we are all here to win things.
I have watched many Premier League games and they look very different to the Spanish game, particularly much faster.
A great manager can show you how to find goals, but it's evidently something you have to have; a drive to score.
A manager can have a great idea but if the players don't understand it, or don't follow you, your idea doesn't have much use. On the other side, you can have a bad idea, but if the players are convinced it, and you transmit it well, it can work.
If the manager can't transmit his ideas, and the players don't understand it, you've a problem. When your players can follow it, though, you've already won a lot in a season.
I prefer to be on the pitch than to play little.
Leo Messi is the best player in the world for me, but look at the others that have been at Barcelona.
If Barca call me, I'll drop everything.
Luis Enrique was always honest with me.
I think Leo Messi is going to be the best player of all time. Yes, I also think that some Golden Balls have been lost along the way and that he could have even more.
It's always complicated to play for Barca. Each year I have had to fight for a spot.
The objective is to help my team-mates, the more minutes on the pitch and the more games I play, the better.
I am ambitious and I want to play as much as possible.
Jorginho is a very good player, clever, fast.
In 2007, Barca B were demoted from the Tercera to the Cuarta Division and I was among the players who wanted to leave. Then Guardiola arrived and he wanted to play with wingers that were spread out across the pitch and he gave me an opportunity.
Robinho is a good player.
I always keep faith in myself and my abilities.
I am really happy here and have no regrets about the decision I made to join Chelsea.
Messi is the best player in the world, but he's not invincible.
One can always get better.
At the start it felt strange to wear the Chelsea shirt, because I had never imagined I would leave Barca.
I have shared so many great times with some great players.
I prefer not to return to the Camp Nou wearing another shirt. It would be strange. But if that's what destiny holds.
I don't train to be on the bench.
I train every day to be a starter.
My opinion of Mourinho changed when he became my coach. He was always clear and correct to me.
It is always good to play your part and help the team with goals whenever possible.
It's tough for us to hear that Barca and the national team are boring to watch. Supposedly, we play attractive football, one-touch football, which is what people want to see.
We've all got our own opinions, our own way of appreciating the game.
There are games that you completely dominate and suddenly you're behind and you ask yourself how that's possible.
Both at Barca and the Spanish national team we know that the best way to win is by sticking to our philosophy.
When you do not have a lot of playing time, of course you do not feel like one of the important players.
When you do not play in important games, then it is a difficult situation.
It is the same for all players; everyone wants to play.
The best teams of Europe play in the Champions League.
Conte speaks a lot with the players, also on the pitch and on the training ground, preparing very well for the games.
For me it is good to win, to win the Premier League is a dream for me.
Sergio Ramos is very good. I know him very well: great defender, great with the ball. Van Dijk is also the same: so strong, very good in the air, scores goals. Two big players.
I think it is always difficult for every manager, when you arrive with good motivation and ambition. It's not just in the Chelsea dressing-room. For all coaches, it's difficult.
I do everything possible to win.
Obviously Diego likes to play a bit further forward than me and then you have got Eden who is a player that likes to come inside and dribble, and his final pass is fantastic.
Barca have many opportunities all the time to win matches, which in England is very difficult because the challenges are greater.
You can not relax against Ribery and Benzema.
I will miss Messi so much. He's a great teammate, a great guy. We've lived a lot of things together, a lot of matches, a lot of goals. He knows me well.
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will effect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everythingCollection: Love
