Obviously my strength is going up and down the wing - that's what has given me the opportunity to play for the national team and at Barcelona.
Obviously, I grew up in Barcelona, and when I watch them play I want them to win. The team are always going to be in my heart.
I gave up on the national team - I thought to myself, 'Well, that's just not something that's going to happen for me.' The national team was in residency camp; I was 6,000 miles away. Nobody was watching, nobody cared... I'm just going to go play for myself and my team and try to be great... and I had more fun than I'd have ever had.
You've got to keep on going up and down the wing for the whole game in that wing-back role, so you obviously need a lot of stamina to do that, and I think I've got that.
Barcelona wanted me to play for their B team. But I wanted to stay and win the Copa Libertadores and after that I didn't want to go down to a B team.
I've been lucky enough to play for the Spanish national team and Barcelona, two sides who've shown that you can play good, attractive possession football and win major titles.
Now it's up to me to prove that I can play for Barcelona and help the team to stay at the top.
If I'm called up by any England team, I'm willing to go. I'm not going to pull out of any England team. Ask any young kid who wants to play for their national team, and everyone's the same. We're all dying to do it.
I waited for the opportunity to be invited to play for the national team of Nigeria, and immediately, they found me worthy; I did not waste time to honour the call.
I think Barcelona and the Spanish national team have been good for soccer because there are a lot of teams that come up playing from the back: with the goalie, the defense, moving up a defender to midfield, playing attacking soccer. I think fans want to see that. They want to see beautiful soccer, a spectacle, and Barcelona does that.

I prefer to play up front, but if the coach puts me on the wing, then that means it is better for the team, and for me, that is the most important thing.
Neymar is the most important player in our national team. His absence is felt when he doesn't play. Same holds true for Barcelona. Such is his impact.
When it's time to play, I'm going to come play. I'm going to play the right way. I'm going to try to help my team in all directions, blocking and catching. If I don't have the ball in my hand, I'm going to protect, block down the field. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.
It had never been a decision to choose between the French national team or the Senegalese national team because I was growing up in France and playing in the French youth national team, so it was something really normal.
Chelsea have given me the opportunity to play in a top team with top players, so I will try to be as successful as possible here.
FC Barcelona is the national team of Catalonia
