For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.
You look at the best players in the league, the best players at quarterback - I mean Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, the top names - none of those guys are throwing it through a brick wall. They'll have touch.
The Champions League is the one thing missing from my career. When I look at the history of the competition and the people that have taken part, the top, top players have all won it. For many, it is why they have been regarded as top players.
Like I always said, if I'm one of the top players in the game, pay me like I'm one of the top players in the game.
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.
Physically, the top players are on a different level to other players, and that's why they're on the top.
To have a manager who has worked with top players, top strikers, who have played in my position, it's always nice to know that when he is giving me information, he's coached these players before so it's important I take it on board.
All top players are the same strokewise, but mentally I can improve and that's where it's at for top players.
In the last year I have gained a lot of experience because I have been playing against top players and realized what things to work on to get better. Top players basically tell you what your weaknesses are on the court.

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.
If you'd asked me when I was 18 if I'd be happy being in the top 100 male players for 10 years, I'd have taken that like a shot. As it turned out I was top five for a decade.
I'm following the players, and it's great. We've never had so many Top 10 big players like now. There's so many out there that are very close.
If you want this game to be at the top level, you have to treat your players like they're top level.
We're taking the top iconic characters and bringing them to life as toys that our players can buy. We know that our players would like to play in both dimensions.
We have a psychologist at Chelsea who goes around seeing the loan players. He said every top, top player has a dark side. So someone like Diego Costa sometimes oversteps the mark. But you can see he plays on the edge. He said I had to develop that. It's not natural for me to be like that.
