A Quote by Toby Alderweireld

If you're injured, it's always mentally hard. — © Toby Alderweireld
If you're injured, it's always mentally hard.
Being injured is quite an awkward situation to be in mentally. Physically, it's quite good to have a bit of a rest, but mentally it's hell.
That's always a concern with a player when he's injured. There's a difference between injured and pain. If a guy's injured, he's injured. Pain is pain. Guys can play with pain. Guys can't play when they're injured.
Even when I was injured, I was always working hard.
When you are injured - and injured for a while - it is hard. You have to go to the training ground and watch everyone go out to play.
Everyone knows I like to fight injured. Half the fights I've taken, I've always been injured.
Being injured for nine months, it felt like a breeze to me mentally - nothing was really too difficult.
Some days you realise that everything is a burden, both physically and mentally. That it's not about fun, but you have to deliver without a doubt. Even if you are injured.
The older you get, the easier it is to get injured. But what I've learned the hard way is that the more excess weight you have, the more likely you are to get injured doing everyday things.
I've always prided myself on being mentally tough, but just because you're mentally tough doesn't mean that what's going on between your ears is always good things.
For myself, mentally I just needed to take a break from the game. I took a longer break than normal. Because when you play that many games, that hard, it's a grind mentally.
I'm very strong mentally. I have a lot of character. I never give in; I always have the drive to keep going and to work hard to achieve my goals.
Thomas Muller deserves enormous respect. He's hardly ever injured and has always been with the national team, where other players might have said they are tired, need a break or were injured. He has busted his butt for the national team.
The manager is always on at us about mental strength anyway. He just comes in and stresses how important it is to be strong mentally, to succeed you've got to go through pain both mentally and physically.
I have just accepted certain things and it makes it easier. I accept I will get injured. I accept I cannot win every race. I work hard to decrease the chances of those things happening but I accept they will happen. A lot of people don't accept it. They get injured, they go crazy.
I've worked hard over the years, I've been injured and I've worked hard through it, and I've made it.
No one was ever injured by the truth; but he who persists in self-deception and ignorance is injured.
