There are so many other examples in the Premier League of players who are the best in their country and make a move because they are really ready for a level higher. If they come to the English top flight, it turns out they need a period to adjust in terms of pace, aggressiveness and physicality, especially as a midfielder.
Tottenham is not a club that always wins, but we are trying to create something. It's not easy to fight against European monsters, but it is a motivation.
Playing Bayern is never easy.
You cannot find one team in the Premier League who can win at a place like Old Trafford regularly. The word 'regularly' makes it sound easy to win.
I got kicked out of the league because I had a hard time sustaining at the quarterback position.
I believe that if I committed to basketball, I could make an impact in the NBA. I now see football as my job and my greatest challenge.
It's difficult to get ready to face a player like Cristiano Ronaldo. He's a goal animal.
Not many teams will come to Arsenal and get anything, home or away.
To beat City twice is no easy feat.
Playing Chelsea is as tough a test as you'll get in Europe these days.
Thierry Henry, he was definitely the best. He was just too quick. Oh God, what a player he was. I was so relieved when he went to Barcelona. He used to have everything. You couldn't even kick him, he was big and strong, oh, Jesus, he was a nightmare
Rivaldo was fundamental for me accepting the challenge in Bunyodkor.
When I left Ajax in 1999, I travelled to Liverpool and spoke to Houllier. I was shown around Anfield and also met with the chairman and a couple of the players. I thought about it, but when Juventus came to the table, I came to the conclusion that it would be a bigger challenge to play in Italy.
Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.
Every TV timeout, I went up and said it right to Brady: 'Please keep trying me. I'm going to take it from you.'
It's not easy to score three goals in 70 minutes.
I think Crystal Palace is always a tough place to go.
It's my objective to make sure Schalke are successful again. It's a huge challenge for me to help the club to the Bundesliga title again after years without winning any titles.
I like the challenge, week in, week out, of trying to play good, consistent footy.
I have crossed Suarez on the field and it was a pleasure. He is a great forward and that always means a challenge. I would like to swap my shirt with him.
To score three goals at City is not easy.
I do not think it is very easy to win away from home in the Champions League.
When I took over at Everton, the challenge for us was to try to go toe-to-toe with a club having success in Europe and sometimes competing for the Premier League.
It was very hard to go through life as a small boy supporting Atletico.
When I used to come to Anfield as an away player, I always knew it was going to be a hard game, no matter what kind of form your team was in.
