football player competition
There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you're going to attract top players. It's part and parcel of football.
football player games
For me, there's nothing that beats playing. When I'm not playing, I'll watch games on the television, watch stuff on You Tube, everything. I just live for football, love watching great players.
team real player
You want to play in the best stadiums against the best players - your Real Madrid's and Barcelona's - you want to play those teams.
player play chance
When you play with good players, they will always create chances for the forwards to score.
player roles enjoy
The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.
behind fit front joe
Joe would fit in well down here. He can play on the left, on the right or behind the front two,
choice style
Style is important for me. I want to be different and now, when I go out on the field, it'll be my choice what I'm wearing.
achieved bunch fans great happy season somewhere special tremendous
I'm happy here, there's a great bunch of lads, the fans have been tremendous all year. I think we've achieved something special this season so I can't see why I would think about going somewhere else.
football feels
I feel 21. I've looked after myself and take my football seriously.
talking issues groups
I don't know about anyone else, but if I had problems or issues, maybe I wouldn't feel as comfortable talking about them in a group.
body ifs your-body
If you're good to your body, your body's good to you.
training
I love scoring - even in training.
dream play careers
Going to a major tournament, having that buzz - it's hard to put into words. It's a dream to go there, and to play. It's the biggest thing you can achieve in your career, and to go again would be a dream.
team winning thinking
To win a major tournament you have to face the top teams at some point, but if you avoid those at the beginning then you can win games and build confidence. I think the key is just to get off to a good start.
