JESUS NAVAS

I like the way football is played in England: the speed, the style of play, the high rhythm.

How many times have I beaten Barcelona? I don't know, three times at least.

It will be very nice to meet Jordi Alba. We both play with speed, and it will be a very challenging mini-game. Who would win in a 100 metres race? I don't know.

I think pressure is great; it can make the game more exciting and force us to play our best.

I'm going to a great club in England, and I want to continue developing my game there. The club has put a lot of faith in me, and I want to repay them out on the pitch.

I can't remember what times I used to do in training because I always loved football and didn't have any interest in an athletics career. But I was always the quickest.

United were always our great rivals when I was at City, and we played some really important games against them.

We just have to be in the mindset that we are going to be winning games.

The Barcelona players have reached an amazing mutual understanding that they can play with their eyes closed.

The initial two or three wins that you get really give you a surge in confidence. That helps for the following games.

The Premier League is a competition with very quick football.

I've done well against Madrid and scored against them several times.

I'm very focused and working really hard in training every day.

Like every player, I want to start more matches rather than be used as a substitute.

I feel very well at City.

Anything like having a good season at home for the club, or going as far as you can and having a great Champions League, has its repercussions when it comes to the Balon D'Or winner.

All players want to better themselves and keep improving.

I did wreck a running machine once at Seville. I was only supposed to be doing 12 minutes, but I went on for 15, and it suddenly packed in. I had to hang on to the side to make sure I didn't fall.

It's good to be competitive when everyone wants to be in the starting line-up.

To play with the national team is the ultimate goal for any player.

The truth is it's like a dream for me to play for a club like Manchester City and fight for titles and everything that comes with that.

I am really happy here in England.

It's always difficult to face Barcelona. They always have top-quality players.

Things are never easy against whoever you play, which is why every game you have to be totally at it, on your mettle, and totally focused and concentrated.

Your rivals study the way you play and find a tactic to counteract your strengths.
