When I scored the two goals I was very fit and now I'm coming back, so I can't promise to score two goals
Unfortunately in the emotion of winning the game my comments have come across partly in the wrong way. I want to make clear that I don't dive.
We promised you that our victory would bring back peace to our country.
We are ready ... but I think it's 50-50. They are a good team so we'll see what happens.
If such events should occur (again), I would no longer take the risk to come and play for the national team.
In football, the good thing is things can change in a second.
Coaches can teach you two things: confidence and technique.
He predicts things. I have often heard him say things which are proved right minutes later. Its really impressive - almost mystical.

All the fans know my love for Chelsea and I hope to be back here in the future in another role.

People have an opinion of Africa and it is not so good, but we have to let sport unite us all.
