“When I first came to England to play I saw coaches having a go at play...” — Eric Dier Quote

“When I first came to England to play I saw coaches having a go at players when they made mistakes and they would literally be talking them through the game.”

“At the end off the day we're all the same, we're normal human beings with a gift we've been given so it's very difficult to handle all of those situations that happy in football with money and fame.”

“Coaches like Alan Stubbs were quite hard on me but that helped a lot. It was the best thing that could have happened. It really hardened me up physically and mentally.”

“I'm English. I've never said the opposite. I'm 100 per cent English. In Portugal it happens that a lot of Brazilians play for Portugal and they're not Portuguese.”

“Obviously results are what count in senior football, but performing the right way as well is important.”

“My immune system just really struggled with the medicine after the appendix and I kept on getting ill. People said I was injured but I was never injured.”

“Coaches aren't concentrating enough of the technical part of this game and that could lead to injuries.”

“I don't know how 'X Factor' works. I was only there as a guest judge for a day. But I watched 'The Voice' a lot; I respected how it came across on TV, and I love the freedom we get as coaches to do what we want.”

“Some things are ridiculous and just as us players and coaches need to improve, so does VAR.”

“The competitor in me wants to play, but it's not my job to make that decision. That's what the coaches are paid for.”

“A lot of guys can shoot two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 feet behind the 3-point line. A lot of people can do it. It's just, when is it going to be considered a good shot? When are coaches going to encourage you to shoot that shot?”

“What makes me so confident is my coaches, my team: they are the best in the world, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here.”
