You need to keep working hard on the training field to show the manager you want to play.
Kieran Trippier
I always wanted to play for City because I was there from such a young age.
I always liked how David Beckham played - his set-plays and his dead balls.
Obviously, you want English players playing in the Champions League against the very best players in Europe.
I didn't think twice about coming to a big club.
If I'm having problems, I speak to my older brother, who used to play professional football.
I just looked up to my brother because he was a professional. He was the one I wanted to follow.
If someone makes contact with you, it is a foul, and you are going to go down.
It's the World Cup, and everyone wants to be there. No one will be burnt out; everyone will be raring to go.
I got let go at City, but I always believed I could play at the top level.
I've had to work so hard in my career to get to this point, from leaving City and going to the Championship to work my way back up. I believed I could do it, and I'm grateful to Burnley and Tottenham for letting me do it in the Premier League.
I loved Gary Neville's energy, to get up and down for 90 minutes, and his leadership as well. He was always organising; he was passionate. It was just his all-round game. He was a quality defender and could also chip in with a goal and an assist.
I used to watch David Beckham on YouTube for ages when I was younger.
My brother is brutally honest with me - he always has been - and he's the first one I text after games. He has a nice chat with me and tells me how I did. He's one I've always looked up to, and I'll always respect him for that.
Everybody knows what Harry Kane is all about; he's a goalscorer, a great professional.
My dad was a tree surgeon. When I was younger, he was working away five days a week for weeks on end, just trying to get as much money.
Representing England makes me emotional.
There's some days you start to think, 'When is my chance going to come?' As a professional, you always have that at the back of your mind.
Sometimes you have to wait. Sometimes you have to be patient, and your chances will come.
Ever since I was in the youth team at City, I've always loved crossing the ball.
I work hard on the training field every day.
Obviously, I don't go into a game not wanting to do well. I go into every game to try to do my best for my team-mates and the club.
You know when you've had a bad game.
I've picked up a lot of injuries, and there's been games when I've looked back and watched and thought, 'I could have done this better,' 'I could have done that better.'
I've never met Beckham, but I'd love to. I'm a massive fan of him. Hopefully we can cross paths and chat.
Beckham was the one I always looked up to - the technique, his crossing on the move or set-pieces. But as a kid, I just played with my brother. He was playing for Oldham, in League One and League Two, and he's the one I really looked up to.
My delivery is something I always worked on.
I wouldn't be were I am now without my parents.
In football, things happen so quickly.
If the manager selects me to play, I will always give everything I can.
Obviously, when I was playing in the Championship, I always dreamed about playing for England, putting on the jersey.
I give everything, 100%, every game - win, lose, or draw.
I'll do the best I can for my family and for the fans.
At Tottenham, we are just bombing on as wing-backs, but sometimes on the international stage, where there is so much quality, you need to be more careful about the distance between yourself and the right-sided centre-half.
When I played for the first time against France, I wanted more.
You never know what could happen. Someone could get injured early in the game, so everyone knows they have to be ready. Anyone can come on at any stage in the game and make the difference.
In the World Cup, you can only play who you are drawn against.
Coming off the back of the World Cup, it is important you get that rest.
Spain are certainly one of the best teams in the world.
As full-backs, we like to get high and wide. It's the style of football that I enjoy playing.
I want to stay in England.
Playing at Wembley wasn't easy.
I know I played for England at a World Cup with millions and millions of people watching, but I still stick to my same routine - I train, then go home to see my wife and little boy.
It's just about confidence and believing in your own ability. If you hit it over the wall, you've got every chance of it going in.
I wasn't in the best shape when I came to Tottenham, and the manager let me know that. Within six months there, I was in great condition.
I thought I was in good shape. When I was at Burnley, and we got our body fat done, I had a really good percentage. Sean Dyche was happy. I went to Tottenham, and I was well high - I think they pinch you tougher at Tottenham - that's what I think. Unless it was my all-inclusive holiday in Mexico.
At Burnley, I'd enjoy myself with my missus and friends, but because at Tottenham we're playing Saturday-Tuesday, even Wednesday-Sunday, and with the intensity we play at, playing in the Champions League, we can't afford to have a night out.
The training at Tottenham is intense, but the structure is set out perfectly - in the gym, running, sometimes double sessions. Every player at Tottenham is in great shape.
All I can do is try and keep doing my best in training and games.
I was still going out when I was younger - drinking - and I wasn't looking after myself properly.
