I've got to do everything extra to put myself in the best shape to get in the World Cup squad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been keeping myself fit. I am going on holiday next week in the Mediterranean so that I can really unwind after the football season and have a rest.
I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness.
When I was back to 100 per cent fitness, I was able to show what I was capable of. I like to think I will bring a freshness into the Euros, and now that I am captain, I am going to do my best to take responsibility.
I went to Brazil to learn more about my body and my physique: what to do before training, during training, after training, even after the match.
I always want to push myself as far as possible; I always want to be up there and recognised as a good goalie and have people appreciate what you do.
You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
I want to reduce my risks as much as possible and hopefully be able to go to the World Cup fit, ready and healthy.
I want to be more than just some guy who played in a World Cup final.
Nobody criticised me when we qualified for the World Cup when I decided that the best shape for us going forward was three men at the back and stretching the pitch width-wise, which gives you options.
I'd love to go and I'd love to play for my country and go to a World Cup again. I've got to accept I'm not in the current squad and just think, 'If I get it, it's a bonus and I'll give it everything.' But it's hard to do when you've been thinking a different way all your life.
