When I was playing for Chelsea, it was always tough to beat Albion.

Nicolas Anelka

International football's not always about playing the top three in the world - it's about going to some of the tougher places around Europe and playing real tough games.

Joe Hart

When I went to Australia on the India A tour in 2014, I played on flat pitches against batsmen, some of whom were Test players. That experience taught me a lot, as I also was playing with a lot of Test players in our side as well, and I learned about being mentally tough.

Jasprit Bumrah

If I leave Chelsea, I would be unprofessional ,just because I am not playing does not mean that I don't love Chelsea. I am not leaving.

Juan Mata

You love playing on a national stage - anytime you get these games. The Thursday ones are tough; I have a mixed opinion. I think if you win them, they're awesome because you get another little bye week in there, so to speak. They're tough on the quick turnaround.

Alex Smith

Playing three games in seven or eight days is very tough.

Lindsey Horan

We shot ['Sailcloth'] five days down in Cornwall, and you couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place. It was a couple of tough days at sea, but when I say tough it was still enjoyable.

John Hurt

There's a massive difference between playing Under-21 football and being on the bench at Chelsea, and playing every week in a league where you are playing for people's livelihoods and helping to pay their mortgages.

Patrick Bamford

In the early days, I often felt that I was taking a math test when we were playing. It was a profound feeling of having to prove myself.

Chris Stein

If you don't perform, and you're part of the team, whether you're playing your first Test or 50th Test match, criticism goes hand in hand, so that's something you can't really get away from. If you don't perform, you will be criticised.

MS Dhoni

It's tough being at Chelsea. I work hard every day in training. It's a massive club with really good players, so you don't get the opportunity every weekend.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

With Chelsea, the job was this: move up to the top, get into Europe. And I did that - fourth place in the Premier League and then into the Champions League, the season before Abramovich and all the money arrived.

Claudio Ranieri

You have to have a laugh and a joke. If you spend five days playing a Test match and so much time together off the field, it's important to keep morale high.

Joe Root

A lot of people say two-a-days is the time to get them tough. It's over by then. You better not be getting tough in August. Our whole philosophy in August is to get ready for the first game. June and July are to get ready for August. Our whole goal in the middle of February is to develop toughness.

Urban Meyer

I'm looking forward to seeing more of the US, and hopefully spending some of the summer in Europe playing festivals. It's early days though, so who knows.

St. Lucia

When I came to the league, back in Europe I was so much faster than the other guys, I was always penetrating. I didn't use my jump shot. When I came to the league it was tough to get to the basket. All those guys, they went under the pick-and-roll. It was long threes, especially for me coming from Europe.
