I played a lot of games for Villa, and one of my regrets is not winning a trophy there - that still hurts, and that's why the big games are important.
I might be in a little decline. I don't know. How many guys that have played 150 games are still on the upswing? I've played a lot of games, a lot of snaps.
All my life I've been that way - ever since I was a kid. It doesn't matter whether we played video games or even before that when we had board games when you played with your sister and mom and dad - I didn't like losing then and didn't want to do anything but win when we played.
You can do a lot of breakdown on games you played, but the takeaways from games you've played has to be on what's in front of you.
I've played a lot of games - I started very early, and the first 50 games were just warm-up games.
I played a lot at Bayer Leverkusen. I played in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga. I have played a lot of games, and it was a very good decision to go to Leverkusen.
I've played a lot of games, and automatically, if I play a lot of games, I feel fitter, much stronger, and good.
I've played a lot of different positions, and when I've played in my favourite position as an attacking midfielder, I played well, I was important and created a lot of occasions.
There's a lot of games played, a lot of snaps played over the long haul.
I've played games where I thought I played one of my better games, and statistically, there's nothing there, and vice versa. I've never based how I feel about my performance on stats.
Honestly, the Carolina games I played in every year were more intense than the national championship games I played in - they had a better environment.
I played ACC and NCAA Tournament games in my backyard - these imaginary games - and when I finally got to experience it in real life, it was better than I could imagine.
Every child has played video games growing up and played WWE games. To be part of a video game, it's an unbelievable experience.
Any game is important to me. At Boston College, when I went out for the spring games, I wanted to win. Maybe it is more important than other preseason games. It's just that everyone is expecting a lot from me in my first week of professional football. I want to confirm my expectations.
I don't have too much spare time, but I try to play games as much as possible. I played a little growing up, but I never played any tennis games before.
I think I've been very fortunate. I have obviously played a lot of snaps and played a lot of games, so my mileage is high. But I've been very fortunate that I've been able to stay relatively healthy, no major surgeries and stuff like that.
