Edin Dzeko

“For every striker, it's important to have the confidence of the coach.”

“I know people will criticise when you play bad; that is part of this job, and I am fine with that. That is not a problem. The problem is the insults. That is what hurts the most.”

“I am genuinely flattered by Chelsea's interest. It's a club I really respect, and hold in great esteem.”

“English Premier League is much harder and quicker, and also, the referees are totally different because in England, they don't whistle after every small contact like in Germany.”

“Every player has his goals.”

“I'm fine at Wolfsburg, and I'm happy to be able to play in the Champions League.”

“The fans have always shown so much faith in my ability, and I feel so much love, both from supporters inside Manchester and from those all over the world.”

“I played my first derby, I won, and I scored. As good as it gets!”

“Working hard, I hope to achieve the things I did in Manchester with Roma.”

“Everyone expects goals, and I want to score them, but most of all, I want to contribute to a successful team.”

“Having been raised during the war, I know very well how childhood hampered by displacement, poverty, violence, and fear looks like.”

“When the opportunity came, it was a fantastic thing for myself and my family to do, I couldn't wait to put on a Bosnia shirt, and I haven't really looked back since.”

“Every player needs time to settle in and to get used to a new club, from knowing the league to the other players - everything.”

“Never have I doubted myself, because I know what I am capable of.”

“I love the Bundesliga, and I will return to the Bundesliga. I can just not say when I will return.”

“I have spent some of the best moments of my career at Manchester City, moments that I will never forget.”

“For every player, it is important to be fit and have a good pre-season behind him.”

“The first goal is always very important.”

“I never played any games like this in Germany, not when you have to fight for 90 minutes. But if I want to be successful in England, I have to get used to it.”

“I can just remember what I have seen, and then I often think about how I do well throughout the match, and then, if I miss one chance, everyone talks about the miss. Only that.”
