A Quote by Petr Cech

Obviously, you have the physicality and the way the game is played in the Premier League. The goalkeeper is not as protected as in Europe or different leagues.

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.

Simon Mignolet

Obviously the leagues are different. The Premier League is much more competitive than the Dutch league.

Jan Vertonghen

Everyone dreams of playing in the top leagues in Europe and the Premier League is obviously up there. Growing up in England, it's always been a dream of mine to play in the Prem.

Jack Harrison

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.

Mesut Ozil

There are so many things that a goalkeeper coming to the Premier League has not experienced in a different league.

Petr Cech

Of course I pay attention to the Premier League - it's one of the greatest leagues in Europe.

Andre Schurrle

The Premier League is different to other leagues where I have played, and everybody knows it is very tough, but I will do my best to beat my own personal records - I'm very motivated.

Naby Keita

It took me a little bit of time in the Premier League. I came back from an ACL and got one goal in I think six months at Crystal Palace. It wasn't great but I got to grips with the Premier League, started to understand what it's about because it's very different to the lower leagues.

Glenn Murray

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.

Joe Hart

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.

Luka Modric

I would not want to be the Europa League in the current format, that's for sure. Thursday night games are difficult to contend with given the level of physicality we deal with in the Premier League. We struggled with it at Newcastle and we were not alone in that among the English clubs. Until that issue is addressed, no Premier League team wants to be in the Europa League. That's the reality, even if some don't want to admit it.

Alan Pardew

I believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and having played in the Premier League for such a long time, it is to my advantage, and I know what to expect.

Petr Cech

I've played in nearly every league and country on these islands, apart from League One. I've played in Scotland, I've played in Wales, in the Premier League and in the Championship. I've been lucky to get a broad footballing education.

Kasper Schmeichel

My first obsession was actually sports. I was a very good handball goalkeeper. With special permission, I played in the premier league in Germany before I was even old enough.
