Kyle Walker

I have been playing professionally since I was 18 at right-back. To get to your first World Cup and probably not playing in your preferred position, where you want to showcase your talent, is not disappointing, but it is like, 'OK, it is a little bit of a step back.'

English footballers are honest - they will run for 90-odd minutes - but that is not always what you need. Sometimes you need to rein back a bit and try and control the game with your passing.

I want to play right back for England. I think that's my spot. I have played there for nine years.

It was disappointing to be left out of the Premier League line-up, but it was a reality check to sit back and look on the bench.

I'm a team player. I will do anything for the team.

I want to improve as a player, but it's all about the team.

When you don't give the forwards the service, then it's difficult for them to score. Not everyone's a Gareth Bale.

Having a two-year-old son is challenging, and my missus is only 21, so we're both young, and it is difficult.

It's a big part of my game, attacking.

It's an enjoyable sport; we all love to play the game, and fans love to support it.

If you're lucky enough to get into a Premier League or Championship team straight away, well done to you, but I feel really grateful for the experience that I had at the lower end.

I want to play right-back. I have worked my whole life to get to where I am now in a World Cup squad and to showcase my talent in the World Cup stage, playing in my position.
