Edin Dzeko

“I still have a home in Sarajevo, and there is a room where the walls are covered with football jerseys. One is a Milan shirt with Shevchenko's name and number on the back. It is an original from one of his Serie A appearances, and he has autographed it. It has pride of place. It really is my prized possession.”

“Regardless of what I was and who I am, above all, the most important thing is to remain human.”

“If you do not play well, it is normal that they criticise you. But criticism is part of the game, so you accept it.”

“I was always attracted most to joining City, and I am pleased to be at such a good club with such a big ambition as Manchester City.”

“I am happy that United seems to be one of those against whom I score a lot!”

“I try to do my best in every game to help the team.”

“Since I left, I follow every City game in every competition, and it's just natural for me because I feel it is still my club, even if I'm not there anymore.”

“Every time I see a paper, for what seems like a year or more, there is a story saying that I am leaving City or that I want to go. But I've never said that, so the stories don't come from me. I've always wanted to stay at City and fight for my place.”

“David Silva is a great player, and also, off the pitch, he's a great lad.”

“I'm just a regular guy. I have a lot of friends and love to spend my time with them.”

“I've followed Roma because my friend Miralem Pjanic is here. It's a great club. I have a good relationship with Miralem.”

“My motto has always been, 'Never give up.'”

“Nobody is happy when they're not playing.”

“That was always special, playing Manchester United. I loved the feeling of the derby, that pressure, the atmosphere around it. And I did have some good matches there, didn't I?”

“I have spent four wonderful years with Manchester City. They have grown a lot over the years.”

“I owe Wolfsburg everything. Without them, I would not have had the chance to play for Manchester City or Roma.”

“I will never be a super sub. I want to play.”

“When you score in the first minutes, everything changes.”

“I cannot hide being sorry for failing to move to Juventus.”

“Nothing compares to Rome. Nothing. People there are crazy about football - in a positive way.”
