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.
I know that I will always regret it later in life if I had turned down the chance to play at another great club like Real Madrid.
I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.
I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I've ever lost control like that in my life before. It was like some mad scene out of a gangster movie.
The intrusion and the invasion into my life is tough because I've got children,
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,
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
You can be the one - in - a - million. Don’t be discouraged by the odds to Succeed.
The secret to my success is practice!
Every situation has changed me as a person.
