I know the questions will be around the money, the amount Chelsea had to spend to bring him here but that's the reality of modern football. Big teams only want big players, big players are in big clubs, big clubs want to keep their big players.
Maybe one of my strengths was to bring the energy to the team, and then defensively, I contributed a lot compared to other players, which is quite essential for the big matches; you know, against big clubs, you need to be very cautious with opponents that attack.
Those who can keep achieving results are the big players at the big clubs. If you cannot get the results, you just can't play and move away.
He's a big player, and the big players score the big goals and make the big contributions in the big games. That's what determines a great player. That's what Steven Gerrard is.
Big teams need a core of players who have their roots at their clubs, who grow with their clubs and who embody the culture. Representing it on the pitch and outside as well.
I was young and playing against big players and big clubs. In the beginning, I was thinking they were better than me, and maybe I was a bit scared, also.
I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
Ancelotti has managed a lot of big clubs, and I think he would do well at Madrid because Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are big clubs.
Barcelona and Real Madrid wingers, these are the big players at the big clubs and you have to watch them. They are at a top level. I'm not going to say they inspire me, but I take things from them.
For clubs, free movement plays a big role in transfers and players' contracts. Players from the E.U. can sign for U.K. clubs without needing a visa or special work permit, making it quicker and easier to secure top talent from across Europe to come and play in our leagues.
You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.
When I moved to Chelsea, it was a big, big challenge and experience for me at the time to play with so many good players.
The economics of baseball are the big problem. The big clubs make a lot of money and the little clubs don't.
I was very surprised when Dhoni retired from Test cricket; I thought he would have kept playing. He is a big player and you need big players in big tournaments.
I want to have a big year. A big year, big fights, big contract, big money, big everything. 2017 is definitely my year.
Big players want to play in front of big audiences.
English football's history is so rich and the size of the clubs around, the so-called big six, are so big that it is difficult to break into that for a club like Leicester.
