As a footballer you always want to test yourself against the best.

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

I work out with my trainer or do an hour of pilates at 6 or 7AM. I'm done by the time my household is awake.

I am always going to have problems with the paparazzi. I have had two men outside my house for the last two years, which is frightening at times, but that is my life unfortunately.

Nothing amazes me anymore.

It's my responsibility to walk around the hotel with a big smile on my face and not worry about what's happened in the last game.

Maths is totally done differently to what I was teached when I was at school.
