Each game we approach like a final. Today it was the opening game at home, we won and showed outstanding football qualities. We will be preparing for the next game the same way.
I'm very happy and very tired it was an extremely difficult match, it was difficult to run for 90 minutes,
In England everyone puts a lot of pressure on you when you have cost a lot of money.
It will be hard for us and it will be an achievement just to get out of the group stages and through to the quarterfinals, but I am personally dreaming of reaching the final!
It will take place according to Catholic tradition. That's what we decided in our inter-ethnic family. When we have a second child it will be done according to Orthodox tradition.
These rumors have been going around for three years, but I'm quite comfortable. Just let it go, I don't have to deny anything because it's completely clear, I'm comfortable here.
I am really happy with this achievement and I must thank my team-mates who have made it possible.
There is a great responsibility on the team to perform well, because our supporters and the whole of the country are expecting us to do just that.
I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time. Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.
If my goals and victories can help the world remember Chernobyl and bring a smile to the face of the people still suffering then I dedicate all my success to them.
Shevchenko is the best attacker in Europe. He has a great deal of consistency and he just keeps scoring - which in Italian football is very difficult. He is a complete player, someone who can do everything on a football field
My fitness is good. I hope to improve it even further during training.
We are playing at home, with full stadiums and passionate fans. It will be very special moment for me.
When I was a child, it was my dream to be a professional footballer. When I was 14 I visited Milan's San Siro stadium and remember thinking how unbelievable it was. From then onwards I vowed that one day I would be playing there - and I am very proud that I achieved this and also for everything else I have managed to achieve in football.
