It's nice to know what I'm working on in training is coming off on the pitch.
My sheets had never been so clean as they had in the past few months. I hardly got them on again before something else happened and I was feverishly ripping them off and stuffing them in the wash with double amounts of soap and all the "extra" buttons pushed: extra wash, extra rinse, extra water, extra spin, extra protection against things that go bump in the night.
I just want to keep on getting better and improving. Those extra hours on the training pitch, whether it be with the boys or individually, I am just looking to improve.
I am tired of hotels promising to go the extra mile only to have them refuse to go round the corner!
But I'm professional: if I need to do extra training I do extra training.
I was training most nights and was missing out. I was coming back from school and wanting to go out with my mates, but I had to go training.
I don't have to get a pitch down the middle. If I like the pitch-even if it's 15 inches off the plate, and that's the pitch I wanted-I'm swinging.
Training-wise, you have to work on your weaknesses, preparing yourself properly for the game, on and off the field.
It never gets easier, you just go faster. To put it another way, training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.
When I started finishing games and coming off the field shaking hands, it was a beautiful thing. I mean, you start seeing that you're an important part of the team.
There's no better feeling than coming off the pitch knowing you've won the game.
When I was in Europe maybe you are tired for all year - playing, training, training, training.
Off the field, Ronaldo was also focusing on everything extensively, such as resting up properly and strengthening his body. After training sessions, he would often work on his free-kicks and then come to me and say, 'Edwin, can you go in goal?'
You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.
I believe that I am a different person off the pitch than I am on it. On the pitch, I am a bit louder, and off the pitch, I am quieter.
I always make sure I work hard every day and give everything in the game, in training, and off the pitch, too.
