I like to talk to my team-mates. Communication is key.
Communication between band-mates is imperative. Communication is the key to any healthy relationship. If I need to be checked, I expect to hear it put in plain words what my faults are, and give my band-mates the ultimate consideration by shutting up and listening, then acting on the advice given. Same goes for anyone else in any band.
I have my way of doing things, because I am that way, I try to raise my voice to motivate team-mates and make them aware that if they lose a ball it is not a problem, so I try to motivate my team-mates and to speak to them and, because I see the game from the back I see everything in front of me; communication on the field can help a lot.
There are things you can do in training like learn from the manager and talk with team-mates, but it's the game that tests you.
I don't like to talk about myself. I don't want to talk about what I do, what I think I do. The position I play on the pitch, I am expected - and I expect - to create chances for my team-mates and score goals.
Of course, I enjoy assisting my team-mates because playing no.10 is the position you have to serve your team-mates.
In football, in any sport, communication is really key. So if you want to be a great teammate, a great team and a great player, then communication is very important.
I talk a lot with my team-mates.
Communication is key to having a good team.
Communication is key in any relationship - especially in a team sport, and football is the ultimate team sport.
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
I had team-mates who didn't care if the team won or lost because they were not playing. I never wanted to be like that.
It's essential to be able to communicate in English, to talk to my team-mates and then in my personal life outside the football.
I have the same relationship with all my team-mates. For me, all my team-mates are the same.
People talk about me, and that's good, but a lot of it has been down to how my team-mates have supported me.
I can talk with my team-mates, understand them and it's better for understanding the coaching staff and the game itself. If someone's making a run and they shout for the ball, I know now.
I think that's the key [of communication] - to not use one method of communication for all people.
