hurt real moving
Games are not so bad because the adrenalin keeps you going, but training on a daily basis when every time you move it hurts, that is a real battle.
football said intervals
The manager could not even talk to us at the interval. He said we were bad.
senior kids player
Some of the money from the senior players goes to helping out the younger kids. It is from the players' pool, the fines for being late and so on. Some will go to something like the tsunami appeal and some to helping out young players.
men compassion justice
Politics come from man. Mercy, compassion, and justice come from God.
country retirement jobs
I love playing for my country. I see it as the biggest privilege of my career, so there's no way I'm going to volunteer to give that up. I want to go on for as long as I can. I've got 68 caps and I'd love to think I could get 100. I know there are some players who reach their 30s and announce their international retirement. I totally understand and respect their decisions. We are away a lot and for long spells. But although it's hard, we're doing one of the most privileged jobs in the world.
captains opinion
You don't have to be captain to have an opinion.
player careers looks
For me, Lionel Messi is quite clearly the best player ever. It’s a pleasure to put myself against him and when I finish my career it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best.
character fighting tough
It's been a tough season for all of us, but all we can do is keep fighting and showing character to the end of the season
song guy fans
My mum dated a guy from Liverpool. The Liverpool fans made up a song that she 'loves Scouse c*ck'
player years names
I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.
mean thinking goal
I still say if the ball is there to be won I will go for it, whether with my head or whatever, and if it means us scoring or stopping a goal, I won't think twice.
school littles gophers
I had a little teddy bear called Gordon the gopher. I took him to bed with me, he'd come to school with me cos he was my favourite.
one-day my-friends chelsea
No, I love it at Chelsea. I've been here since I was 14, and I'm 28 now. All my friends are here, so I'm going to stay for ever unless Chelsea tell me I've got to go, which maybe one day they will, but for now I'm definitely staying.
few last pressure sharp starting today worked
The last few weeks, we haven't been too sharp from the starting whistle. But today we put them under a lot of pressure and it worked in our favor.
