I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
My priority is always the family and Victoria [Beckham] and I always ensure we are there for our children. We work hard but family comes first.
The secret of the team's success is easy - unity and hard work.
We knew he was going to work us hard to get back to form and we have done that.
It is frustrating to hear the fans criticize the manager so close to the World Cup. As players it is hard for us to take. They are entitled to their views because it costs a lot of money to follow the team everywhere.
From the word go, we're going to try and hit them as hard as we can,
I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,
I've been around a long, long time, and it's hard for things to change overnight. It's going to take a few years.
It's disappointing when it happens anywhere in world football because we all know how wrong it is -- and so many people are working so hard to cut it out of the game.
There are issues to consider but my personal life is fine, the team is doing well and I'm happy with the coach. Everything is coming together.
The players and a lot of people in England knew it before this tournament but now Europe is finding out about Wayne Rooney. And we're very lucky to have such a good player in our team.
Without doubt, I always said that I would not go into management,
We said a few things in Spanish and swapped shirts ... He had a smile to say 'that's the way it goes'.
Why don't the Argentinean players like me? I don't know,
