There is always going to be criticism but I am a strong enough person to take that.
We have confidence in the manager. We believe that he is the right man for the job,
Over the years, when I've seen players retire, when you ask them about it, they always say you'll know when you're ready, and I think I know when I'm ready. I think I'm ready.
We can take a lot from that game, to play against one of the best teams in the world and we've outplayed them for 90 minutes, ... They've scored two goals in the last two minutes of extra time. We had a lot of young lads out there who played as if they had been around for a long time.
We have been in this position before at the last championships when we beat Germany and ended up losing. It is unthinkable that we should go out at this stage, with the team and the players we've got. We can't even think about going into this game wanting a draw, we must go into it wanting to win.
We have got great individuals but this team is not about individuals,
If this team plays to its full potential then we can be devastating and, if we do that, hopefully we'll get a good result and beat Arsenal.
I'd love him to be playing against us, because he is one of my closest friends and because he is a great player - and you want to play against the best.
I'd like to think things will get better,
I am honored to have been asked to go to Singapore for what will be a historic vote,
Mine was a great goal but the important thing was the team winning,
One of the reasons why Brooklyn didn't go to a (Spanish) school was because of the press attention,
I wouldn't call myself a failure like I have been called by some but at the end of the day that's something I'm looking forward to proving this summer,
So it is going to put a lot of strain on my back.
