"At Bayern it was fantastic. It's a fantastic club."
"Let's be honest, the style Guardiola wants at Bayern doesn't suit me."
"Bayern and their fans will always be the most beautiful and most emotional story of my career."
"Guardiola disappointed me - he did not treat me with respect. He did not let me become the top scorer in the Bundesliga. For me things were twice as good when Jupp Heynckes was in charge."
"In my professional life I do not have to like everyone, but when I feel negative energy with someone I try and avoid that person."
"I realised that I had no future at Bayern, so I resigned myself to leaving the club and had to choose a new destination."
"Guardiola took the decision to not play me in the DFB-Pokal final. He did not want me to win the trophy as top scorer, so he did not let me play during the end of the season. It was not really so important for me, but I felt it was a lack of respect towards me."
"I'm a fighter like Ibrahimovic, my idol."
"I've always been against taxing diets."
"Once a Dinamo Zagreb coach saw me while I was eating a pizza and severely scolded me, telling me that I would be fat, I had to think about my health. In response, I ordered 10 pizzas and managed to eat 5, so next time he will have a strong think before treating his players in a bad way."
"Pirlo and Tevez are extraordinary players and any squad would miss them."
"Juve think always of the future. There are already new reinforcements."
"My reason for joining Juve was simple: they're a great team and it was an easy decision to make."
"It's always difficult to play against Juve. The games against have been the most difficult in my career."
"If Diego Simeone is a gladiator, then Allegri is a man of character and his results speak for him."
"It is every player's dream to play at a world tournament."
"I hope that my first appearance at a World Cup will be marked with a positive outcome."
"I've never considered leaving Atletico because I'm happy here."
"The media exaggerate little things."
"I'm ready to do everything necessary for my team-mates."
"Juventus have always had exceptional players. I've played against them and against Italy many times. They're a tough team with great quality."
"I'm happy to be in a big club like Juventus."
"I had proposals from England, but I believe they would have had to adapt to my style."
"I could not have chosen a better path after leaving Bayern Munich."
"The atmosphere at the Estadio Vicente Calderon is fantastic, and puts the players' motivation up into the clouds."
