You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - the majority play in the Champions League.
You need to have a big squad; it's important when you're in the Champions League, with the amount of games we've got.
Any strengthening of the squad, in a League and Champions League which demands so much, is a good thing because you need many top quality players.
Many players in the French squad play in the Premier League or have played in the Premier League, so I knew about the level.
It's never a straightforward thing to do, to be able to inherit a squad. When you're mid-season it's never easy to get a team or a squad of players to function exactly the way you want them to.
When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?
You can never know if there will be a second Cruyff, someone with a great personality who can grow up and make it into the squad of the club they love. But what is certain is that, in the Champions League, there will be big clubs producing these players forever.
No matter how great a squad is, a competition like the Champions League is not easily won.
I've shown I am deserving to be in the England squad, but I don't just want a place in the squad; I want to be in the team.
I'm not silly enough to say I don't take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad - and of English players scoring who weren't in the squad.
I looked at it, and it was like, 'Can I push and make the Olympic squad?' It is tough going from 18 players, including Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. I thought that might be a push too far for me. I had no Champions League with Chelsea. I lost my motivation.
You have to build your squad every year to do better; to win the Champions League is very difficult as we have seen.
I'm not sure how I became that way. But I've always been that way. Every team has to have at least one emotional player on the squad, or it wouldn't feel like a real squad. That lifts the squad up whenever it's down. That's what I try to do.
The season lasts a long time, and we need not only a high-level squad but also a big squad.
There are no guarantees getting into an England squad: there's so many unbelievable players.
We know how important both competitions are, especially the Champions League since it's such a special competition, but we want to win the league too. We take it game by game - concentrate on our league games, win them and then start thinking about the Champions League.
England's is a very solid squad, but I can't name a particular player; a team is all the players, and they're good.
