“I went a bit too safe for a time. I was worrying more about not making...” — Martin Odegaard Quote

I went a bit too safe for a time. I was worrying more about not making mistakes than actually playing my game.

I could have gone to many clubs, but Real Madrid was a dream. They are the biggest club in the world and were the best option for me. There I trained with the senior team and played with Castilla under Zidane.

I've always had this weird connection to Arsenal. It started long before I signed.

We just want to focus on each game, keep improving and see how it goes.

Having Zidane as my coach was a very nice thing, but it wasn't good for my self-confidence. What an incredible technique he has.

When you're the younger guy, you're kind of only looking after yourself. Obviously you have to be a bit selfish in terms of what you're doing. But when you're the older guy you have to look out for the younger guys as well. If they're making mistakes, they need help, then you help them.

I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.

Nobody lives without making mistakes.

I think you learn by making mistakes and what throws you can and can't make, and what decisions to make and not to make.
