I never got to train with the likes of Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart, but I am from the club where they were. I am not Dutch, but I am from a club where they both played with the same style. They've had really big success when they left Ajax, so I hope I can achieve the same.

The most important thing is to try to do your best.

Christian Eriksen

It is always hard when the referee is against you.

Christian Eriksen

Sometimes the body just needs to take a break, and you need to listen.

Christian Eriksen

As a player, you want to play for your national team - if you're fit, you play; if you're not fit, you don't play.

Christian Eriksen

Argentinian people are always a bit more aggressive!

Christian Eriksen

Barcelona is a fantastic football club, and I don't think there are many players who would be able to say no to them.

Christian Eriksen

Any coach in football doesn't like national team games because it's out of your hands; you can't really control what's going to happen.

Christian Eriksen

In the future, I see myself at the highest level. That's what I dream about.

Christian Eriksen

Every player has a different style of play, has a different talent, so people look differently at you.

Christian Eriksen

As a football player, you would like to play each match.

Christian Eriksen

The more stable you are, if you have the same manager, mostly the same players, it makes it easier for the club to play as best as they can. It gives a bit of comfort.

Christian Eriksen

I have felt in my head that I would like to play, but then you listen to your body and accept it might be better that you do not play every game immediately after an injury.

Christian Eriksen

I had a lot of dealings with Bergkamp. I started with the under-17s at Ajax, and he was the assistant coach. Once or twice a week, we had individual one-to-one training sessions. You just watched Bergkamp. When you see him in training, he had skills that a guy just shouldn't be allowed to have.

Christian Eriksen

In England, you can't enter the training ground without permission, whereas in Denmark, you are free to go in.

Christian Eriksen

I went to Chelsea twice when I was 14 and 15. I was at Danish club Odense at the time and came across with a friend to Cobham. We played against West Ham youth away, and the year after, we played Millwall away.

Christian Eriksen

Ajax have a tradition of good football and play 4-3-3, which suits me. They also spend lots of money on youth players with the aim of putting them in the first team.

Christian Eriksen

I've always been a runner.

Christian Eriksen

I think everybody knows if they played a good or a bad game.

Christian Eriksen

I think, mostly for people on the outside, it's a lot about numbers or stats. More or more. That's how the football world is going, in that direction. But I'm not really looking into it. I'm just trying to be the best I can, to create as much as possible.

Christian Eriksen

You can definitely train your awareness to be even better than it is. Of course, you start with a certain point of feelings and awareness on the pitch. But I think the more you get in positions, the more you get used to it, the more you get used to the tempo of your team-mates, everything. It feels more and more natural, and quicker and quicker.
