Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
The Premier League, for me, is the best league in the world. It has the best competitiveness.
I believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and having played in the Premier League for such a long time, it is to my advantage, and I know what to expect.
Messi doesn't have to do it in the Premier League to prove himself. The Champions League is the ultimate club competition. If he was in the Premier League, he'd be the best player by some distance.
The England team shouldn't be picked on whichever players are in the Premier League when you've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship.
The guys in the Premier League are about the 10 best in the world and that is what makes the event so special.
What puts you in a different level is if you win the Premier League, and you're capable of challenging every season for the Premier League, and if you play Champions League, and you really believe, and you're a real contender one day to win the Champions League. That's my objective in Tottenham.
The Premier League, if not the best league in the world, is among the two best. It has a much higher visibility than Ligue 1 in France.
Jelavic improved massively going to the Premier League. He was great for Rangers, but Premier League is different: faster and more physical. He is perfect for the Premier League, has everything to succeed.
I would not want to be the Europa League in the current format, that's for sure. Thursday night games are difficult to contend with given the level of physicality we deal with in the Premier League. We struggled with it at Newcastle and we were not alone in that among the English clubs. Until that issue is addressed, no Premier League team wants to be in the Europa League. That's the reality, even if some don't want to admit it.
I love the Premier League, I absolutely love Premier League games. Removing myself a footballer, I watch the Premier League. It's a great league, fantastic football is played in it.
A lot of people, a lot of players, come to the league knowing 'I can do that, I can do this, I can do a lot of stuff.' But at the end of the day, what the team needs from you is what makes sense for the team. You have to do what's best for the team.
Man City are a top team, but there are a lot of top teams in this division because the Premier League is the best league in Europe.
I didn't have anything against Manchester United or any other team, and my dream was always to play in the Premier League one day, but my heart told me the best thing would be to stay at Lille.
The best players in the world play in the Premier League and therefore it is the best league.
As a young player, I had to compete with Harry Kane - the top scorer of the Premier League - arguably the toughest league in the world, and a striker who is performing remains in the team.
