I want a strong team-mate and one that is challenging me.
All I'm after is a few square metres to be myself. A space where I can continue to profess my creed: take the ball, give it to a team-mate, my team-mate scores. It's called an assist, and it's my way of spreading happiness.
When you're at Ferrari, you know your team-mate will be strong.
I want to go a team where it'll be challenging for me.
I just want the best team-mate I can get.
I want to play for a team that has a strong defensive reputation. One that relies on a system and where assists are valued. And a team that needs what I do - making other guys better, leading a team, being a defensive stopper every night. I want to be a good fit.
My parents, they're the kind of people that didn't want me to get a big head, so they just kept challenging me and challenging me.
You never want to be behind your team-mate at the end of the year, that's definitely always going to be my goal.
As a team-mate, the one who taught me the most was undoubtedly Fabio Cannavaro.
Discipline is a big thing for me, you have to respect the workplace and your team-mate.
I am happy to give assists. It's my way of thinking and I expect that from my team-mate for me.
If you put me in a box, I'm a character actor. The thing that keeps popping up for me - it sounds really cliche - but I want to play something really physically challenging, something extremely demanding and strong.
When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.
When you have a team that has won for 20 years, the mentality is strong. When you don't play well, you still know you are a strong team.
I have no problem with people challenging my views and my positions. I want to be clear that I'm not asking anybody to stop challenging me. But I will not accept being called an anti-Semite.
The press often ask me about Messi and Ronaldo and who is the best, but one thing for me is very clear. For me, the No. 1 is Andres Iniesta, because he is my team-mate for Spain, and I can see that he is able to do even more difficult things on the pitch.
My parents were hippies, and the story is that they went through a dictionary looking for a beautiful word to name me. They nearly called me Banyan, but flipped a few pages on and reached "China," thankfully. The other reason they liked it is that "china" is Cockney rhyming slang for "mate." People say "my old china," meaning "my old mate," because "china plate" rhymes with "mate.
