I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time - and was sitting on the bench for the Europa League and Premier League and you don't think it is going to finish.
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 am happy to be playing in the Premier League because everyone knows it is the strongest league in the world. There are simply a lot of top teams.
Growing up watching the Premier League, the person with the most presence was Gilberto Silva. He was everywhere in Brazil. His matches were always televised. He was the main figure I was following in the Premier League.
The top clubs in the Premier League benefit very much from the fact that there are six teams on a very high level. They have so many games against each other so that they practically play Champions League the whole year. That helps them very much to persist in the international games.
The idea that I might finish my career without going to the Premier League, it is not possible.
The Premier League is a very interesting league and I can imagine it could be a big aim to be a big manager in the Premier League one day like Jurgen Klopp who is very successful.
It is harder to win Premier League games playing 4-4-2 without having players of the quality the top teams have.
I don't agree that there are big teams and small teams in the Premier League. There are just a lot of good teams.
But in football my main aim was to become a pro. I became one and played in the first division. But then I reached the Premier League and before I knew it I was in the England squad.
That is the only way to survive in the Premier League. Every game is a battle, whether you're playing the top team or the one at the bottom of the table.
If you are fighting at the top in the Premier League then you cannot do that with a dodgy goalkeeper. It is not possible.
I've had the privilege of playing in our top seven leagues and the main differences when stepping up are organisation, athleticism and decisiveness. Believe me, the gap is even more evident when you achieve the holy grail of the Premier League.
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 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.
I think, from our point of view, my opinion is that La Liga, the tempo and physicality is completely different to the Premier League. Technically, some of the teams there are absolutely tip top.
