When you have pain, you have pain, and it's always, like, 30 percent there. Of course, there were some games when I was struggling a lot, but there are different solutions to solve it - anti-inflammatory and this kind of thing - so the pain goes away a bit.

If you don't fit into the team, it's going to be difficult for you.

Mousa Dembele

I chose China because I needed something new. Other clubs in Europe and Qatar were also a possibility, but the adventure at Guangzhou was the most interesting.

Mousa Dembele

It's a very good thing to have a group that stays together and understands each other as well.

Mousa Dembele

I like African music but also R&B, rap, alternative rock, and classic.

Mousa Dembele

Nobody is perfect. Even Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo can sometimes look like players from League One.

Mousa Dembele

I like to see myself as open-minded.

Mousa Dembele

To hear my name sung at WHL & Wembley made me incredibly proud.

Mousa Dembele

I don't watch too much football at home. I only watch the Premier League.

Mousa Dembele

I like to watch the top teams in different countries, like Spain or Bayern Munich in Germany. The rest I don't watch. I have nothing to do with that. I'm not a freak. I know guys who watch every game. I'm not like that.

Mousa Dembele

Tottenham play some of the most attractive football in the Premier League - we have a beautiful style of play.

Mousa Dembele

There's a lot of positions I like to play. I think maybe the diversity is something positive.

Mousa Dembele

Everybody knows that they can be the best player in the team, but if they don't work, then it's not going to be good enough.

Mousa Dembele

Tottenham have always had unbelievable players, and the only thing that has changed is our mentality.

Mousa Dembele

I don't read a lot of things, and if I hear things, I don't really think about them because it's useless.

Mousa Dembele

I like to challenge myself, to compare myself against the best.

Mousa Dembele

Every day in normal training, I'm trying to score more. And after training, I stay to practise my shooting as well.

Mousa Dembele

For me, in the past, scoring has not always been the most important thing. My priorities have been to play well, to be important for the team. After that, I've always told myself that if I score, then that's just okay.

Mousa Dembele

I just like to play, to pass the ball and dribble.

Mousa Dembele

When I was young, I never shot. I always wanted to dribble the ball in the goal.

Mousa Dembele

If you hear big clubs are interested, it's always nice to know people appreciate what you do, but when Tottenham said, 'We want him,' I didn't have to think twice.
