I put it into my mind to become a complete player, a complete player.
I don't just want to be a drag-flicker. I want to be become a complete hockey player.
I just want to be a complete player.
I want to be the best I can be and be a complete player.
I like adding stuff to my game, I want to be as complete a player as possible. So I want to be able to do a bit of everything and be good, or great at everything.
With experience, you improve. I'm a better player now, more complete than I was when I was player of the year.
Ronaldo is brilliant, Messi more my kind of player. He sees the game so clearly. He can score, create; he's the complete player - the best ever, probably.
People don't want to be understood - I mean not completely. It's too destructive. Then they haven't anything left. They don't want complete sympathy or complete understanding. They want to be treated carelessly and taken for granted lots of times.
If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it's good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don't want to be the best player in the league or I don't want to be the PFA Player of the Season.
Many say that (Pete) Sampras is the greatest player. But I say with all due respect to the rest, that he (Roger Federer) is the most complete player in the world so far.
He is a very complete, spectacular footballer. He always fights for the ball and tries to lose his marker to help his team-mates - either to defend or to have a shot on goal. For any football player in the Premiership, Scholes is a player you want to emulate. I would happily end my career with the medals that Scholes has. I am young and I hope that I will be able to surpass him - but it is not going to be easy.
I want people to see me as a two-way player. A defensive player and an offensive player.
I just try to work on my craft. Try to be as complete a player as possible, and I've just been focusing on being a consistent player.
When I talk about the early years in Oakland, I don't want to take anything away from who that player was, because that player was still a heck of a player, that player was just young. I played off the field the same way that I played on the field.
I want to be a Premier League player, a Liverpool player and an England player.
