Every soccer player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a footballer, you just have to try to learn what you've done bad and what I could do good.
Nobody is that thick-skinned that it doesn't hurt you. Still, you always know what happens in football. I have got used to criticism, I suppose, having been high profile with England and Man U.
Soccer is the most difficult business that we're in, because one day you're on top, and the next day you're very low.
What I like about it is the creativity. When I watch good soccer players - the way they have to make a play out of nothing.
Soccer's not a game that you can restrict players, especially creative players and players who have proven themselves at that level.
I love sports, and when I was playing soccer, I was always trying to be the leader on the team and the one who takes control.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
Of course I have the odd bad game like other players. But I can't accept that. Especially when things don't go right for United. It all means so much to me to be succesful here. It drives me crazy at times.
I gave up on the delusion that these players enjoy soccer as much as I do, that they play for the love of the game.
OK, the wonderful thing about soccer is, a football is a perfectly round object, and it doesn't make mistakes. The player using it makes mistakes. And the more you use it, the less mistakes you make.
