I won't lie, I want to play in the Champions League and challenge for titles.
I went to Fulham for the project they explained to me - but it didn't really work out. I might have been playing at a high level for the national team, but I was starting to miss those European nights and challenging for titles.
Both Chelsea and Manchester United will be challenging for the Premiership title next season.
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 don't want to be the one that says Liverpool can go on and win the league. But there's a real belief and togetherness in the squad; we're all working for each other. We all know what the dream is at the end of it.
Sure, Maryse is the Divas Champion, but I find it no coincidence that she supposedly got 'hurt' the week after she stole my title.
After you win a Premier League, the second year is more difficult.
Games don't come much bigger than playing the title holders with the chance to win the trophy yourselves.
In the Premier League, the most important thing is not to give the team at the top of the table reasons to keep winning game after game.
I want to defend and put my title on the line as much as possible. If the top in the division are ready to try to come and take my belt - and the key word is 'try' - I'm ready to give them that opportunity.
I knew before I arrived that the pressure at a club that challenges for the title grows quickly. The season is long; we'll become stronger with every game.
