Christian Eriksen

It was a bit of a shock playing against Millwall. I knew the reputation of English football was tough, but my first thoughts when we started were, 'Wow, this is different to Denmark.' They kicked a little more and made crazy tackles, but I wasn't injured when I returned to Denmark, so I guess I did OK.

It's never fun to be injured; it's always boring being on the side. You want to go back to help the team and to be able to play.

You can definitely train your awareness to be even better than it is. Of course, you start with a certain point of feelings and awareness on the pitch. But I think the more you get in positions, the more you get used to it, the more you get used to the tempo of your team-mates, everything. It feels more and more natural, and quicker and quicker.

Argentinian people are always a bit more aggressive!

That's the main thing for a player: you feel comfortable, you feel aware of everything around you, and you don't think about anything other than football when you're on the pitch.

When you are new, it is difficult to get momentum and get to know your team-mates when you are not regularly in the team.

I'm personally in a different stage of my career than I was at the beginning. I was young and tried to run a lot and fight for things. Now it falls naturally. That's something you get with experience.

To play against Luka Modric is always special because he's an exceptional player and, of course, a living legend from Spurs, where you still hear a lot about him.

Money has never been a motivation.

Penalties are easy if you score, but in open play, we create chances as well.

As a player, you want to play for your national team - if you're fit, you play; if you're not fit, you don't play.

You watch Silva, and he almost never gives the ball away. He is always looking, thinking, making the right calls.
