The interaction between the goalkeeper and the back four has to be top to compete in the Premier League.
It's a good thing to interact with a top goalkeeper who has so much experience in the Premier League.
If you are fighting at the top in the Premier League then you cannot do that with a dodgy goalkeeper. It is not possible.
For me, the Premier League is full of quality, and the clubs competing at the top are the same who compete at the top of Europe every year.
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.
As a young player, I had to compete with Harry Kane - the top scorer of the Premier League - arguably the toughest league in the world, and a striker who is performing remains in the team.
Petr Cech has been a top keeper in the Premier League for the last 10-12 years. When you're growing up, you see him making these saves week in, week out. He's probably been the most consistent goalkeeper in these last 10 years in the Premier League, so you can't give him too much criticism.
At the top end of the Premier League, you have to be ruthless. Even just to get in the top four is hard.
I've crossed every bridge to become a Premier League goalkeeper, I think I'm going in the right direction and I think I'm mature as a goalkeeper.
There are so many things that a goalkeeper coming to the Premier League has not experienced in a different league.
Jelavic improved massively going to the Premier League. He was great for Rangers, but Premier League is different: faster and more physical. He is perfect for the Premier League, has everything to succeed.
Man City are a top team, but there are a lot of top teams in this division because the Premier League is the best league in Europe.
I love the Premier League, I absolutely love Premier League games. Removing myself a footballer, I watch the Premier League. It's a great league, fantastic football is played in it.
We have to do everything that we possibly can to get back to winning the Premier League. We are not successful until we do. Second is not success, we have to win the Premier League.
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
For me, it is a dream come true to play in the Premier League as a No. 1 goalkeeper.
I think everybody is under the impression that everyone wants to work in the Premier League. I want to work at the top level like everyone else, but it doesn't mean that's the Premier League.
