Adam Lallana

“I think Dele Alli is one who is psychologically strong.”

“It's obviously nice to contribute.”

“When the manager comes in he cannot say, 'This is something I want to do.' It is an environment that the manager creates and it happens over time.”

“It's not just about training, it's about playing competitive football.”

“I don't think by any stretch I'm an established international.”

“It's like an addiction: you win one medal and you want to win more.”

“The more you're competing, the higher the level is in training. That means the quality is going to be higher on a Saturday, Wednesday or whenever we're playing.”

“At times, my insecurities were real. How am I going to get back into the team? I felt like I was climbing a ladder that was never-ending at times.”

“Whatever my contract situation is, that will be going on in the background.”

“It's about just staying fit, staying strong and staying ready.”

“I will always love Southampton. I had a great time down there.”

“It's always good, even in training, to show the manager what you can do and remind him.”

“If we are going to achieve something, we are going to need a strong bench.”

“It's a good feeling to know you've had a good day at work.”

“Going out on to the pitch and being mentally free is a massive thing.”

“Speaking selfishly, having to counter-attack is not one of my strengths.”

“Deep down I hope Saints fans appreciate the times we had at the club together.”

“I'd just like to thank everyone at Southampton for what they've done for me.”

“We don't ever want to be complacent, and it's good to look back and see places you can improve. That's a good mentality to have.”

“I've always had a good relationship with Pochettino. We are very good friends off the pitch now.”
