Of course my first goal is to save the balls. This is obviously the most important thing as a goalkeeper.
Obviously, I couldn't imagine that my career would go so well. When I first started, I wanted to play out of goal. But there was no goalkeeper, and the coach put me in goal.
I am a goalkeeper. My first duty is to save the goal. The second is to communicate with my defenders and organize them.
That is very important, to play with your feet, it is very important to know how to read the game and obviously save balls and also handle the pressure when it comes to the crunch time.
When a goalkeeper makes a mistake, there is no one to save the goal.
When I was nine or ten, I had a chat with my coach and I asked if I could play in goal. I started playing as a goalkeeper and it was love at first sight. Only a goalkeeper knows how it is.
If you're a goalkeeper, it doesn't matter what you save the ball with - if you keep it out, it's not a goal.
If you're a goalkeeper, it doesn't matter what you save the ball with; if you keep it out, it's not a goal.
For most people, it's easy when you're in front of the TV. It is easy - just look at the goalkeeper jump to his left so why don't you shoot to the right? Yeah, I can shoot to the right but, on my mind, was the left and the goalkeeper saved it! It can happen! But the most important thing, for me, is to keep scoring.
I think the first and most important thing is that you've got to have a goal and a vision.
It doesn't matter if it's in my class or around the world, anywhere, the first thing I say is "First of all guys, I want to give my Heavenly Father credit for all I do and the Lord Jesus Christ to give me the opportunity to go out and reach and save lives." To me, that's the most important thing.
If you concede a goal, it can be up to seven or eight mistakes leading up to it but, obviously, as a goalkeeper you have to accept it has gone past you.
If you are making mistakes at centre-back then inevitably that results in an effort on your goal and your goalkeeper has to make a save.
I wasn't a goalkeeper until I was 13 or 14 so before that, my heroes were the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but since becoming a goalkeeper, I've obviously trained with Joe Hart.
The most important thing about motivation is goal setting. You should always have a goal.
I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.
The mental aspect of being a goalkeeper is very important so you have to go into the game with full concentration and confidence. That is a big part of your game and the Premier League is the most demanding league for any goalkeeper.
