To be at the top, you have to have a competitive streak in you. If you're not performing, you've got to be angry with yourself.

The Champions League is more interesting to watch than international football and the quality is superior as well.

The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.

I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of sitting there for an hour and a half watching a game like we saw between Ireland and England last Sunday.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

Give me a great Champions League game or an exciting Premier League game ahead of an international match and I'd love that to reverse. A lot of people have lost interest in England games, it is quite hard to watch.

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.
