I just want to be on top of my game, because that benefits my team-mates as well.
You will make a mistake in a game, fair enough, but you want your team-mates to help you out because it is a team game.
Occasionally, when I come off during a game, I get a little bit angry. But it's only because I want to play in every game and every minute to help my team-mates.
But I just try to do my best. I don't know if my game can influence the game of the team and how we play, but I just try to help with my football, for my team-mates and the club.
I have my way of doing things, because I am that way, I try to raise my voice to motivate team-mates and make them aware that if they lose a ball it is not a problem, so I try to motivate my team-mates and to speak to them and, because I see the game from the back I see everything in front of me; communication on the field can help a lot.
Of course, I enjoy assisting my team-mates because playing no.10 is the position you have to serve your team-mates.
Obviously, I don't go into a game not wanting to do well. I go into every game to try to do my best for my team-mates and the club.
I want to play for England, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I give it everything I can, not just for me but for my team-mates as well.
I try my best, and I want to help my team-mates every game.
If I go on to the pitch, do things well and the fans love me and my team-mates, too, we take on that energy which can change a game.
I want to thank all my team-mates as well as the opponents in red ball cricket. It has been a privilege to play with and against them.
I just want to keep on working hard and helping my team-mates out.
The player who is almost at the same age as my daughter... I treat all my team-mates as brothers and I treat him just like a team-mate. I embrace them all and I am always around them giving advice because this is part of my job as a team captain and friend. I don't make them feel the gap in the age because I believe this should be normal.
Chelsea has grown in my heart, not just because of my team-mates and all the people that work for the club but also because of their fantastic fans.
I'd love to do well on a big weekend with people watching and cheering, of course. But it's not fair to create an expectation level before I know what is realistic. I want to finish as well as possible. Is that top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You just have to play it by ear.
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
It takes the pressure off of your better players to know they don't always have to be on top of their game for the team to do well.
