When somebody tells you they don't think you're good enough here, your face doesn't fit, you don't just roll over; you've got to back yourself.
One of my strengths is focusing on football, and even in the summer, I try not to switch off too much.
I started my career in an era when footballers were different. There was a different culture.

You can only become world champions if you work as a team.
When I watch the Champions League, we see great clubs.
Obviously, you want English players playing in the Champions League against the very best players in Europe.
It is very sad to see real champions finishing plus-20, and I don't think that is the spirit of the game.
We're in this to be champions and not to be the opening act. Not to be a mid-carder.
