- When I was younger, I played as a right-back. I also played as a central defender, but I realised that I could dominate the ball quite calmly, so I started playing further forward in front of the back four.
- My job is to help the team, and so I love retrieving the ball as much as scoring or playing the final pass for a goal.
- You play in different situations and conditions, and you have to come up with new solutions for the problems. It has made me a more rounded player, who can handle different tactics and positions.
- I’m accustomed to pressure. It’s what we, as players, live. If you don’t want pressure, then football is not for you.
- Pep Guardiola had some great clashes with Klopp in German football. They know each other well.
