“Whatever is going on off the pitch, players relish playing football.”
“When you are in a squad, you are looking around to make sure that everyone is focused and feels the same way.”
“Frank Lampard was fantastic.”
“Diego Costa is Diego Costa. He scores goals. He is an animated character and he is a big personality.”
“This is what playing football is all about - trying to reach finals and trying to lift trophies.”
“I am constantly analysing my performances and I tend to focus more on things I haven't done as well as I'd have liked.”
“My best World Cup memory as a fan? The Michael Owen goal against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup in France.”
“I've enjoyed success and I feel like I've been a big part of success - not just involved in winning trophies but involved heavily.”
“That's the buzz you want as a footballer - to perform well in the big high-profile games.”
“If you can play effective counter-attacking football, as you see in the Premier League, it's very effective.”
“Playing at a club like Chelsea and being given the opportunity to play with the world-class players that we have means you can learn from them and improve your game.”
“Having people doubt you is what gives you that fire in your belly.”
“I'm not a guy who is willing to accept not playing.”
“There are challenges in front of you that you face all the time in football. You ride through and come out the other end.”
“I'm ambitious in everything I do. That is never going to change.”
“The majority of Chelsea fans have been unbelievable, but there is maybe five per cent always thinking, 'Get the next best thing in.' I feel that.”
“Players at the highest level have got high football intelligence, so they can adapt, but at the same time you need a structure and an idea of how you've got to play that system.”
“I went to the World Cup and didn't play, but I came back with an even higher opinion of Gareth Southgate. It's all about how you treat somebody.”
“We all know it's hard to have time to come in as a young player - maybe the club and the supporters give you seven, eight, nine games where you're rusty and not performing. It's difficult to do that.”
“Work hard at your game and then you will progress.”
