I have been at Chelsea for a lot of years. I have played in the Premier League, the Champions League, it is a kid's dream to play for Chelsea. I have moved on, who knows I might one day go back to Chelsea.
I always believe you give your all for whoever you're playing for, whatever shirt you put on. You play for that team and you want to win for that team - whether I'm wearing a Liverpool shirt or an England shirt.
I had this dream for a long time and it was a dream to play for Chelsea and not for another club.
I try not to match too much. You know, if there's a blue coat and a blue shirt and a blue tie, I try to stay away from that. I'd rather have a blue coat and a yellow shirt and a pink tie. I don't like to look too matching. You know those mismatched socks kids wear? That's my idea of a good suit.
You look at a club like Chelsea, and you know it won't be easy to get into that team. Sometimes you have to go away, play regular first team football, and show Chelsea that you are ready to play for them.
I've always been following Chelsea and every time I came to London I would try to see a Chelsea game and see how the team was doing because it's been my dream to come to play here.
With Chelsea... I play in blue every weekend and that's more than enough for me.
This unlikely story begins on a sea that was a blue dream, as colorful as blue-silk stockings, and beneath a sky as blue as the irises of children's eyes. From the western half of the sky the sun was shying little golden disks at the sea--if you gazed intently enough you could see them skip from wave tip to wave tip until they joined a broad collar of golden coin that was collecting half a mile out and would eventually be a dazzling sunset.
Chelsea have made a good investment for me, but I did not put any pressure on them.
My dream is Chelsea. They are great, and my objective is to play there.
To play at Chelsea is a dream for any player. It is standing next to some of the best players in the world and competing with the world's best as well.
My dream was to play for Chelsea - maybe I was bit naive.
I played for Chelsea for three-and-a-half years and I gave them my best to win against them and show my quality again. I didn't have anything to prove to them. I wanted to show my new club that I deserve to wear this Manchester United shirt.
I used to dream of medals and championships, but now I dream solely of a blue-eyed fighter who one day changed my life, when he put his lips on mine. . .
I love blue more than any other color. I am inordinately attracted to any blue substance: to minerals like turquoise and lapis lazuli, to sapphires and aquamarines; to cobalt skies and blue-black seas; Moslem tiles - and to a blue flower whether or not it has any other merit.
When I was little, my dream was to come and play in the Premier League. So when Chelsea came in, I said yes straight away.
