As a professional, you want to get as much as you can out of your career, play at the top level, and win trophies. Playing with top players at Manchester City, I've got a great chance of doing that, and I just want to keep improving.
I don't know anyone who is playing who doesn't want to keep improving and be at the top level.
We're a little bit competitive and we want to make sure we're on the top. We're all working for the same goal as all these bands, we want to come out on top and I think we have accomplished that in a lot of ways. You want to keep improving yourselves and getting better at what you do.
It is everyone's dream to play for England and we have got a lot of top players in that midfield and lot of competition. For me to break in there, I have got to keep the form up for club at the top level.
If you want this game to be at the top level, you have to treat your players like they're top level.
There is a lot of motivation for me at Napoli, we want to prove we're at the top level and I want to keep improving here.
We play for Liverpool. It is always our intention to win. All the players here want to compete at the top and win. The manager does not have to say to us, 'We want to win a trophy.'
I want to be the top player in the league, and I want to bring my game to another level. I want to play against the opposition's best players-and I want to beat them.
If you play for Barcelona or Ajax or for any top team or top side, they want to see the top players excel every week.
I've always said and I've never hidden the fact that I want to play at the top, be England's No 1 and win trophies.
I think there are a lot of good players in the top 20, top 30 that are top-10 players. You got to get there. You got to earn it.
Of course, the Premier League is one of the trophies we want to win and I think to win the Europa League would be good for the mentality of winning trophies and fighting with the top clubs.
As much as you may be sitting in the top five or the top 10, sometimes you just don't get that chance to get to the top.
I'd love to do well on a big weekend with people watching and cheering, of course. But it's not fair to create an expectation level before I know what is realistic. I want to finish as well as possible. Is that top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You just have to play it by ear.
Being at Manchester United is a great way to play at the highest level and win trophies with a team that is very closely knitted together.
Today's top players only want to play in London or for Manchester United. That's what happened when I tried to sign Alan Shearer and he went to Blackburn.
As players, you've got to keep improving, keep learning, keep playing well to get your place in the team.
