It is good to play strong teams.

If I'm on the bench, I want to be ready.

I'm always hungry. I can be better always.

I would like to score goals in every game.

I've been a bit unlucky with small injuries.

Without team-mates, it's difficult to play well.

Football is about tackling, about winning the ball.

Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world.

I'm playing Premier League, but I'm still very hungry.

Since we are not robots, we can't always perform well.

Mum's cooking is still the best thing. It's very healthy.

It's difficult for an Asian to play in the Premier League.

When I went to Germany, all I knew were German swear words.

Premier League is not an easy league; it's one of the best.

Every player's dream is to play Champions League and the World Cup.

Football sometimes goes up and down, and we need to accept the result.

I may play poorly at times, but I'll always try to give my best effort.

When I play, I just try to score goals or assist someone - that's my job.

Football is about scoring, and if you want to do that, you have to go forward.

If I'm on the pitch, I want to just try to give my best performance every game.

I want to play football until my body says, 'You can't run anymore: you're dead.'

When I am playing for my country, there is not a single match that I can take lightly.

I'm a very lucky guy to play for my country, and I'm very happy and lucky to have this country.

I like lots of Korean music that most people have probably never heard of. I also enjoy hip hop.

Unless I play like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, it'll be hard to give myself 100 out of 100.

In every country I've gone to, if you smile at people, they are going to be happy. This is my attitude.

Harry Kane is, of course, a very important player for England because he's the best player in the world.

Kyriakos Papadopoulos is really funny. So is Karim Bellarabi. They are full of jokes in the dressing room.

I feel great when people say good things about me. But what's important is that I have to show it on the pitch.

Paolo Guerrero is a good player - and Mladen Petric also. I think both are really good and even better than me.

I watched the Olympics in 2012 in London, and there were so many great performances there, so many people, so many sports.

I'm a really luck guy to play in the Premier League and have so many fans, so many supporters. This is a really lucky guy.

At Tottenham Hotspur, we can share the pressure, but on the South Korea team, some of the players have more pressure than others.

It doesn't matter who scores as long as we win the match. I'll obviously try to get on the board, but the more important thing is to be prepared for the match.

I love Korean rice and Korean food in general. Korean barbecues are cool - there's a table with a hole in it with fire coming through, and we throw meat on it.

It's not easy, but I play with my body, and I can feel how important it is to get 100 percent fit to play. This is an important thing to play in the Premier League.

He's always with me; I'm always asking. He can be my father, or he can be my coach, or he can be an ex-player. I can ask him so many things. He teaches me a lot, and I'm really thankful.

Winning the Asian Games is about the most important thing I have achieved for my country, and seeing the delight on the faces of the people back home is something that will last with me forever.

I really actually started when I was 10 years old, but before that, I loved to play with Father because he played as an ex-player. I just enjoyed it, so I started at 10 years old with Father to be a proper football player.

When I was at Hamburg, 17 or 18, Ruud van Nistelrooy signed, and he helped me a lot. He saw my first training session, and he talked to me. He told me I was a good player. He gave me confidence, and I want to thank him for that.
