I'm a footballing romantic just like Johan Cruyff. We like football that is attractive, attacking and easy on the eye. When you win playing like this it's twice as satisfying. I've always played attacking football: my footballing ideals are very clear and well defined. I've grown up at Barcelona with that style and that's the one I like. I think it's good to win like that, by taking the initiative right from the off.
It's not really important whether we play beautiful football. It will be good if we play attacking football and score a lot of goals. But the main objective is to win.
When Pep played this incredibly attractive and multifaceted football in Barcelona, a lot was written and said about Barca's playing with the ball. But the real madness was counter-pressing. Most opponents never had the ball for longer than five seconds before they got smashed by this machine.
Everyone thinks I'm looking for attacking football all the time. But the foundation is how you defend - keep a clean sheet, and you have a decent chance to win a game of football.
I like the atmosphere in the Premier League. The teams play attacking football, and for a striker, that is even more attractive.
Sometimes you have to forget about playing beautiful football and just make sure you win.
The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.
When Pep was at Barcelona, I was so young, 16 or 17 years old. I went to training a lot, and Pep Guardiola told me a lot of things, but I didn't stay in the first team. He is an amazing coach, and if he comes to the Premier League, I think he will win a lot of titles.
The style of football we play here excites me, and I am determined to win more silverware. City gives me the best chance of doing that.
I know I probably never will win the league MVP or passing title. That is not why I play the game. I try to win football games and championships.
I'm a coach who admires attacking football. I want my teams to look to win.
To me, attacking football happens when Makelele gets the ball and passes it to the central defender who passes it to the right-back who comes forward and judges the situation. If he can do something he passes forward or runs with the ball, if not he gives it back to Makelele who builds the attack again. That is attacking football. In England attacking football is giving the ball to Makelele and having him hit it forward no matter what, even if everybody is marked.
No matter what the competition is, we're not going to take it easy. We're going to fight for it and try and win as much silverware as we can.
I always loved playing an attacking form of flowing football.
One of the things I'd bring to Villa if I was in charge is the idea that winning is important in football, but winning while playing offensive football is the best of all.
I never want to change my offensive and attacking football because I love it and I love it when the fans have an emotional time in the stadium. So I will not change this. But if there is a time when I cannot win like this, then I will have to change.
