I think the next England manager should be someone who's going to be right for the job whether he is English or foreign. I think the players would be happy to play under anyone if they are good for the team. But all the talk needs to stop about who's coming in because we need to concentrate on a huge competition.
I've seen his mother talk on the TV and and I think he's got strong parents behind him, and that's what you need when you start out as a sportsman.
After my last talks with them they said they wanted me to stay for a few more years.
People go on about my foul on Simeone and the red card but I'd obviously rather people talk about me scoring the penalty four years later,
I like playing in Madrid and Spain. I live in this city and although we haven't yet talked about renewing my contract, after the Champions League matches against Arsenal we will talk.
The club have said they want to talk to me about signing a new deal and I am very happy to do that,
I think it is better for the team to have a regular penalty-taker rather than me who hardly ever takes them for Real,
I think the list is a list of the best managers in football. It's easy to say who you want but getting them is going to be difficult but then again this is Real Madrid.
He showed once again what a great player he is and we got to swap shirts at the end.
I think the 2006 World Cup in Germany is probably as far as it will go for me as an England player,
It is important for me to have four or five more years in football.
I went into the World Cup always worrying about getting fit for the first game and I haven't got that worry now,
I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I've ever lost control like that in my life before. It was like some mad scene out of a gangster movie.
I went through a tough time for maybe three years after that,
