If my goals and victories can help the world remember Chernobyl and bring a smile to the face of the people still suffering then I dedicate all my success to them.

My fitness is good. I hope to improve it even further during training.

We are playing at home, with full stadiums and passionate fans. It will be very special moment for me.

There is a great responsibility on the team to perform well, because our supporters and the whole of the country are expecting us to do just that.

I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time. Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.

I would like to thank everyone who supported me to be fit for the Euros. I had some fitness problems before the tournament, but I am here now!

I'm trying to see my own country with fresh eyes.

I would be a liar if I said it wouldn't be lovely and soothing - that's the word - to have a hit single or a hit album.

I learned that I had to believe in myself and not just to be comfortable with the opinions of others. I'm just more in control; I finalize everything.
