Becoming a dad was the proudest moment of my life. Playing football does not even compare.

I'm not really that bothered by appearance. I know a few players who go off doing stuff in the mirror ages before they go out to play a game, but I'm not really interested in that.

Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter. It's constant and harsh sometimes.

Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.

Everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player.

We're going to do it. We're going to get to the World Cup.

I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I've done that since I was a young boy.
