The most important thing is to try to do your best.
Christian Eriksen
It is always hard when the referee is against you.
Sometimes the body just needs to take a break, and you need to listen.
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.
Argentinian people are always a bit more aggressive!
Barcelona is a fantastic football club, and I don't think there are many players who would be able to say no to them.
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.
In the future, I see myself at the highest level. That's what I dream about.
Every player has a different style of play, has a different talent, so people look differently at you.
As a football player, you would like to play each match.
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.
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.
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.
In England, you can't enter the training ground without permission, whereas in Denmark, you are free to go in.
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.
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.
I've always been a runner.
I think everybody knows if they played a good or a bad game.
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.
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.
I've always been a player on the move. It's not because I like running. I like getting the ball.
I've never been one to go past 20 players on the wing. I'm always going to be the guy sneaking the ball through, to build and create something.
Everything has been put into what we all wanted at Spurs. Everybody wanted to become a top team, and that is what we have tried to do.
That's the main thing for a player: you feel comfortable, you feel aware of everything around you, and you don't think about anything other than football when you're on the pitch.
I don't mind who takes the spotlight. If you win the game, then it doesn't really matter.
Of course it's nice to get recognition, but I'm not looking for it. I just do my thing. If it comes, it comes. But it's not what you play for.
I'm my own person, and I think that's what everyone wants because it's difficult to be somebody else.
I'm addicted to football. When I get outside, I just want to stay on the training pitch.
Money has never been a motivation.
I think, for everyone who wants to get to the highest level, you have to be in the Premier League, of course.
Talking to the press, you say things a little differently.
It was a bit of a shock playing against Millwall. I knew the reputation of English football was tough, but my first thoughts when we started were, 'Wow, this is different to Denmark.' They kicked a little more and made crazy tackles, but I wasn't injured when I returned to Denmark, so I guess I did OK.
I played for the first time when I was three. My neighbour was six, and I went to train with him. But I don't have many football memories from when I was young.
During the game, you don't really notice how many guys have touched the ball because you're just focusing on where you need to be.
When you are new, it is difficult to get momentum and get to know your team-mates when you are not regularly in the team.
Villas-Boas wasn't a bad man, not at all.
Anyone can beat anyone in the Premier League.
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.
Why did I come to Spurs? It just felt right.
I'm not a player to defend or run around. I want the ball.
You can't get in the top four if you can't beat the clubs who are in the top four.
I only had good years with Frank de Boer. I don't have anything bad to say about him.
When you're young - I probably still am at 23, though I don't feel so young anymore - you have your ups and downs.
If you get the feeling of winning, you want to have the feeling again.
Football was always big in my family.
From the start, all I did was play football. I briefly played badminton and won a tournament when I was 12, but really, it was always football.
My mum worked in a grocery shop and played football, and my dad worked with cars, a sales director, and he played to almost a professional level. His dad played as well.
You watch Silva, and he almost never gives the ball away. He is always looking, thinking, making the right calls.
Every player wants to play more than 45 minutes, but it's the decision of the coach. You have to work hard.
I wouldn't go to a club just to stay on the subs' bench.
