I thought the first yellow was harsh and the second even harsher, |
I want to be part of a country that is passionate about sport. |
I want to carry on playing for England as long as I can and if that means playing after the World Cup then great. |
I want, and I'm convinced that I will, end my career at Real Madrid. In football you can never tell what's going to happen, but I still think that I've got a lot to give as a player and I would like to continue at one of the best clubs in the world - Real Madrid. I want to stay here for many more years, for as long as Real Madrid want me to stay. |
I was asked if the next World Cup was going to be my last and I said possibly it could be, but I hope it isn't, |
I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I've ever lost control like that in my life before. It was like some mad scene out of a gangster movie. |
I went into the World Cup always worrying about getting fit for the first game and I haven't got that worry now, |
I went through a tough time for maybe three years after that, |
I would like to think that we can peak in the same way as the rugby team did, |
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, |
I'd like to think things will get better, |
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'm captain but so many other players are captain of their club sides and we need that. We are lucky to have that. |
I'm confident enough to overcome anything and carry on. There's always pressure taking penalties, whether it's on the Hackney Marshes (in London) or in the World Cup final, ... I'll put myself up again and take another one. |
I'm not complaining, but of course it's tough. It's tough on any family. |
