But training hard and getting games under my belt is the only way to overcome that. It is more direct and physical game in England, but I will get used to that. |
I could hear them, ... I thought they were saying: 'Glass leg' or 'How's your leg?' I was angry after what I heard and I really wanted to score a goal to show those stupid fans it was OK. I just want all the speculation to stop now. I just want to work in peace and the best way is to score goals. |
I have been away for almost 26 weeks and I'm hungry for matches. I need to play. Even training sessions are good for me. I'm almost disappointed that the season is over. |
I have no doubt about us. I know what we are capable of. I'm really confident for these matches. |
I hope this ends speculation for me and I can do my job and score more goals. |
I love to be the central striker, the one leading the attack. I much prefer to be the main forward, although I know I have to learn to play with people as well. But I have no problem playing alongside anyone else. |
I saw the break and it looked bad. But I am proof that he can recover well and get even stronger afterwards. When I saw him lying there on the pitch in agony, it brought back to me what happened. A year ago, I was recovering from a terrible break, and now I am playing again. But Alan strikes me as that kind of person, someone who is tough and can deal with this. I told him that he will get through it. |
I still have a three-year contract. I feel good here even if I don't play much. I get along very well with my team mates and I have a nice house and a son, Cassius. I have also got married. |
I'd rather forget tonight, but the players and the fans stuck by me. I'll make up for it in Germany. |
It is a different style here, there are fouls that would be given in France but are not given here so you have to get to know about that, |
It was tough for us at the beginning, but we managed to come through it, ... Scoring two goals tonight in a final, for sure it will increase my confidence. There has been a lot of speculation in the last week saying I would leave the club. But that is not the discussion I had with the boss. I have signed a contract two years ago and I still have three years left. |

It's lovely to score. I know we missed chances but the most important thing was to keep up there with Chelsea. |
Michael Owen is a well-known figure internationally. I think Milan, Florent and myself have to fight for the right to play with him, |
Our relationship is a professional one. We have no problems. If he works hard for the team he can play more games, but it depends also on his team mates. |
