Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

There's a difference between playing hurt and playing injured.

You can't let injuries dictate the outcome of a football game. You have to persevere and keep fighting. That is how we are. If there is a blade of grass to defend or take, we do it.

If you're injured, it changes the way you move. If you're injured, it changes the way you talk.

As a football player, you just deal with injuries. It's all part of the football game. I've dealt with injuries as much as everybody else. People have dealt with worse injuries than I've dealt with. It's all part of the game, all part of getting that tackle.

Coaches aren't concentrating enough of the technical part of this game and that could lead to injuries.

Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it's part of what we do.
