English football is in a bad way because the foreign players here are so good, so dominant.

You have different sorts of people in life, so why should it be any different in football?

I love English football.

I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.

In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left, it would have been to England.

English football is so physical and fast that when you see a space, you have to go into it with all your speed.

And I think because of the passion of every English player and every English supporter, and every English journalist for the game, most of the game is played with passion, love for football and instinct, but in football you also have to think.

The level of football in England is the top. English football is the leader in the world.

The aura of soccer is very different from other sports.

Football is a more beautiful game in high definition.
