Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.

I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

As far as I see it you just can't give Messi space in the dangerous areas - we have to close him down, get tight and give him as little room as we can because if you don't, he can destroy you.

The title is still on the cards until it's off the cards.
