Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

When I played in goal at Stamford Bridge, I realised that's not my best position. ”

When I play out wide and maybe score a goal, that's my favourite position. ”

To do well at a new competition, you need a lot of good performances. ”

When there's a lot of talk about a team that should or could be winning things, and it's not happening, it can become a little bit frustrating. ”

I always hear commentators talking about squads that have been around and that have won things; they always mention the experience of winning and knowing what it takes to win. They have only got that through winning trophies and winning competitions. ”

Ever since I've been at Arsenal, we've had numerous quality players, and the whole squad had been very strong. It just seemed that in the big games we came up short sometimes, and you wonder why. ”

If you are good friends with someone, you get to know them better and their strengths and weaknesses. You have that respect for each other, and you learn the way one another play. ”

I've had loads of kicks over the years, and I'm not really too fussed about them. I get kicked, and I don't like to roll around or anything. I like to get back up pretty quickly, even if it hurt. ”

When I've watched teams that play with five at the back and wing-backs, I've looked at their starting positions and positions out of possession because that comes a little bit more unnaturally to me. ”

Throughout your career, you will always be asked to play slightly different positions here and there, and obviously, the needs of the team come first, so if you need to fill in at a different position, you'll be expected to do that. ”
