Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.

I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.

Play every game as if it is your last one.

You need a manager that believes in you and shows that he believes in you by playing you.

I'm a manager's player, in a way, because he can use me in a lot of different ways, and I'm willing to do that.

As I've got older, I've become more intrigued about formations, tactics, I listen a lot more to the manager's team talk; as a kid, if I'm honest, I never listened.

I know when it's getting close to game time, I create a different playlist for each and every game. Before the game, to game time, to warm-ups, going to the stadium, I have a different playlist that puts me in a different mode.

I talk to players all the time.

There were probably a few games I played where I should not have played, because of some nagging injuries or something. I used to always talk the managers into playing me, because I wanted to play so badly.
