“It's very difficult in England because the season is very long and hard compared to other places. There's not a lot of recovery time at all, not even a break at Christmas. You just have to do your best and get on with it.”

“Spain is such a competitive league, and for the players to give up La Liga, it's such a tough decision.”

“I don't know what happens with other players or what is in their heads, but for me - just win.”

“All I want to do is win the Premier League and Europa League - I don't stop to think about being named as the Player of the Year. It's not something that interests me.”

“I am not too worried about not scoring many goals as long as someone else is.”

“Football is what we like and enjoy most.”

“I am an attacking midfielder, and I have scored goals, but I want to score more and win more.”

“Everyone has an image of a premature child, but until you live it and experience it, you just don't know how bad it is.”

“When you sign players who are young and hungry, that's good for the side.”

“The way I like to play, it really helps when I have more people around me to combine with.”

“On the pitch, I have always had that responsibility to lead the team. But, of course, when you are captain, players, especially the young ones, they look at you more for the things you do on and off the pitch. But I have always been a very calm person.”

“The Premier League and the World Cup are equally important to me.”

“The aim for the future is always to win titles, become champions of the Premier League, and more.”

“I like to play in the middle, even though I can play on both wings.”

“Football is my passion, and I live for it.”

“Personally, I don't focus much about the statistics of goals and assists. I always want to improve, but I'm not worried about statistics.”

“In football, any team can still improve, in every sense.”

“After winning such an important title as the World Cup, to win the Premier League and to see supporters in Manchester who have waited so long to win it would be important to me.”

“You gain know-how from playing matches because every moment of a football match has its own rhythm.”

“I ask myself in every game to be the one to take responsibility.”
