You have good form, bad form, get criticised, get bigged up. You go through spells of trying to find out how much to listen to, what not to pay too much attention to.
Me being myself, I’m not happy when I’m not playing.
I’ve grown up playing in central midfield more, and I think my natural game is about coming inside from wide.
It’s important for any player to be versatile enough to be able to play in different positions.
If I’ve had a bad game, I know I’ve had a bad game, and I don’t mind hearing it.
Sticking to a routine helps you get in the zone for the match. I always put my left shinpad on before my right. When I go out onto the pitch, I take three hops on my left leg – but I don’t know why I started. I must have seen Messi do it or something.
I have to improve to get to where I want to get and to be as good as I hope to be, so I keep working on it.
I think I play with no fear: I run at players regardless of who they are and try to make a difference.
