Pep is highly intelligent.

Chelsea have fantastic players.

You probably learn more on the bench.

It's a big part of my game, attacking.

It's always nice to see familiar faces.

Its always good to go above a local rival.

I'm all about assists; I'm not really greedy.

In the World Cup, I was happy to play anywhere.

I grew up on a council estate when I was younger.

It's better to play football with a smile on your face.

If I sit here and say I don't agree with VAR, I'd be lying.

Sometimes you need to come out of your comfort zone a little bit.

Pep Guardiola is one of the most respected managers in the world.

I'm just me. Just Kyle from Sheffield. That's all I see myself as.

I am thrilled to be signing for City and can't wait to get started.

I just think I have to be a defender. If I can attack, it's a bonus.

I'm going to repay my mum so much because she has kept my feet on the ground.

My dad's travelled everywhere with me since I was seven, so I owe him so much.

It's an enjoyable sport; we all love to play the game, and fans love to support it.

Gary Neville never seemed to know when he was beaten, and Ashley Cole never gets beaten.

I am listening to a book by the guy who founded Nike, and I can relate to it. He struggled.

I'll always be thankful to Villa for giving me the chance to play first-team football regularly.

They say that the best form of defence is attack, but maybe I have to take a look at how I defend.

I have justified why I wanted to come to Manchester City because I have won trophies and improved.

I want to play right back for England. I think that's my spot. I have played there for nine years.

If I didn't play well, Dad was the first one to tell me where I'd gone wrong and give great advice.

It's disappointing to lose a game with the chance to go into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

I think it's the same for everyone in any walk of life - if people put you down, you want to prove a point.

If I can force my winger backwards, it just comes down to who's fitter, and I like to think I'm pretty fit.

I've got an England shirt hung up in my house from when I was an unused sub against Denmark. I cherish that.

That's why I signed for Tottenham - to say to my two little boys, 'Look, on that day, Daddy won the trophy.'

I don't want to score; as long as I set people up and then they get the goals, that's all I'm bothered about.

Having a two-year-old son is challenging, and my missus is only 21, so we're both young, and it is difficult.

As a player, you don't put a price tag on your own head. You can't go around thinking, 'I'm worth that much.'

I've come a long way from the area where I grew up in Sheffield. It's been a journey, but I've fully enjoyed it.

When you don't give the forwards the service, then it's difficult for them to score. Not everyone's a Gareth Bale.

I'm a sucker for 'Jeremy Kyle,' sad as it sounds. I just go home and watch that, or whatever the missus is watching.

With the Premier League, you can afford to lose a couple here and there, but it's a tough competition, a cup competition.

I want to be the best in the world - everyone wants to be the best in the world - and that's what I want to strive to do.

I'm a defender first and foremost, and if I'm playing right centre-half, I am even more of a defender than the wing-backs.

I was the last one to get a scholarship out of my year - at 14, I think. I couldn't play up front because I was too small.

I was a Sheffield United fan from when my grandad, who's sadly passed away now, got a season ticket for me when I was four.

I watched Pablo Zabaleta countless times on YouTube and clips, because I think his timing of runs into the box is fantastic.

You have to remember that professional football is a job, too, and some people have to get results on the pitch to pay to live.

It was disappointing to be left out of the Premier League line-up, but it was a reality check to sit back and look on the bench.

I don't go throwing money about - if I did, I think my mum and dad would be on my back because that's not the way I've been brought up.

Spurs will always have a place in my heart. They gave me a chance to play Premier League football, and I'll be forever indebted to them.

My boy always wants to play football, but I have to hide the balls. I lock them in a bedroom; otherwis,e he will just kick them all night!

I thought it was really important for my son to come to a World Cup with my missus, who has been there for me from day one and supported me.

The Manchester City fans have their opinion on the Champions League. It is down to us, as players, to create the atmosphere in there and help the fans.
