"I need to take the responsibility in the game. My idea of playing, of who I was, was always taking responsibility, always in the difficult moments as well. But ‘responsibility’ is not always taking the ball and dribbling past five guys and trying to score."
"My biggest strength is making other players better, you know. Supporting them, playing the right balls, doing the right runs, fighting for them, feeding them, analysing the game, reading the game, playing the game as it should be played."
"There are games where you have to play tougher, be tougher, there are games where you have to be more composed, games where you have to find the space a bit more wide or a bit more inside."
"So to read the game, or to make my teammates better, or the best players in the team even better, that’s what I love doing and what I do the best."
"Of course I have qualities, of course I know what to do with the ball, but to be the guy who brings the team together to get the best out of everyone is what I really feel very comfortable in and strong in."
"Sometimes saying the right thing is not always the easiest thing. You’ve got to take the hit, the fight and the confrontation. But also put your arm around to support, be positive, be creative."
"All these parts of a football player’s personality is important if you want to be a leader, not just for one game but for 15 years of your career."
"Mainly it’s about responsibility. Take the responsibility but don’t try to do it alone and get the best people to do the best possible things."
