It's fun when you're winning and performing well, but it's also hard because now you get older, you got responsibilities.
I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.
I played semi-professionally for a season, and there's an element of performance to being a footballer, stepping onto the pitch: you feel like a gladiator walking into a colosseum.
When you are a player, a footballer, or a manager of a great club like Chelsea, you must play to win. To win. To win the title. Or to fight and, at the end, to compete with the other teams to win the title and reach your targets.
I was never sloppy with other people's money. Only my own. Because I figure, well, you can be.
That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.
When you're fighting for an increasingly smaller portion of the pie, you turn against each other; you create reasons to hate each other.
Unfortunately, sometimes the fans forget who puts the money and passion into the club. It's funny, but when you win, it's the coach and the players who are responsible, but when you lose, it's the owner's fault; but that's football.
No matter what business you're in, you can't run in place or someone will pass you by. It doesn't matter how many games you've won.
