You want to achieve the most you can in the short period you have in your career as a professional footballer. ”

Every experience, good or bad, is a learning process. ”

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. ”

We won the Europa League in 2013 and it was an amazing night, an amazing feeling. I take those memories and think to myself, 'I want to do that again.' ”

I want to play football out on the pitch. I am not different to anyone else and the ambition never changes. ”

It's all about playing. Your career's short enough as it is. ”

I have been hugely proud in terms of what I have achieved, in terms of over 60 caps, and I have captained my country on a few occasions which has been a huge honour and something I have been really proud of in my career. ”

When you get a little knockback in your career, it gives you something to strive for. ”

Not every single minute of your career will go well, individually and collectively, and not every season will go how you want it to, but it's how you react to that. ”
