I'm a very private person, and you have a lot of people looking into your personal life, away from football. That's the one thing that I don't like, but I always remember how lucky we are that we're playing football.

I don't want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.

I've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.

Every season will have its dips and hard moments, and the challenge then is to make sure you don't get too down in those moments and make sure you come back fighting.

If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

The advantage does lie with us because we're at home and if we can't motivate ourselves for this match then we can't motivate ourselves for any match. I think the crowd will be up for it as well.
