“As players you need to have thick skin and we need to have belief that...” — Chris Smalling Quote

“As players you need to have thick skin and we need to have belief that you will have bad days but it's about making sure you have more good days than bad.”

“Anyone who wants to be a centre-half would have to say that John Terry is a role model. Every centre-half in the game would agree with that. It is the way he leads the team and the way he reads the game.”

“Ultimately, what you're feeding yourself has a bearing on how you're going to perform.”

“Bad days will come for each one of us, and the more we've thought these things through ahead of time, the better prepared we'll be when tragedy strikes or struggles emerge.”

“You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner.”

“It happens in football. You have bad days.”
