Yeah, I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder, because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent, but it does give you more of an edge mentally, knowing that you were in the same situation, because in sports you always find yourself behind.

As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.

It makes me very happy when I create goals or score goals myself, but the most important thing is that the team reaches its goal and plays positive football.

It is a great boost for confidence in a squad when there is not just one or two players scoring goals, but the whole team is contributing.

Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.

I believe very strongly in the value of having a diverse team around me that comes from very different backgrounds and different points of view.

I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.

I believe that I'm a special player. I think people love the way I just try to play. I don't try to impress anyone when I'm playing or anything. I just have a feel for the game.

I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you're playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players.

The main thing is, wherever I play, I enjoy it and help the team.
