Aaron Ramsey Quotes

Kante is a good player. For me, it is good because he speaks French. We know he is a fantastic player; he runs a lot and works for the team.

I want to be the complete midfielder, someone who can defend and attack. Steven Gerrard is someone who's done that very well over the years, and he is someone I am trying to emulate.

The best player I ever played with is probably Cesc Fabregas. I only got to play with him for a year before he went back to Barcelona, but I learned so much from him - the way he knew what he was going to do with the ball before he got it and his passing - and he scored goals.

Even in training Paul Scholes proves he is one of the best midfielders about, and Michael Carrick as well.

Usually, the most intelligent player is a midfielder.

'Seba' Veron was one of the best players I shared a dressing room with. Not only was he technically gifted and could pass the ball accurately over distance, not only could he anticipate where players would run, but he also ran himself.

All players rolled into one: from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder to attacker. I want to take the qualities from everyone. I'd like to get to the level where I have everything: Vieira, Deschamps, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Henry, Ronaldo. It wouldn't be bad, that.

Normally, I play in midfield where I'm challenging the players and trying to take the ball.

Samir Nasri is a very technical player who always made the difference playing as a midfielder when he is fit.

It is very important as a midfielder to score.

Sterling is a player that did very well at Liverpool. He is very fast, too, and he is able to create good chances and is always ready to attack and help the team with his speed.

Some lads were dribblers, some lads just loved scoring goals, whereas I enjoyed and took pride in practicing my passing and that. That's how it was.

The position in the middle of the field is the position I'm most comfortable with and where I can improve the most.

I would love to play alongside Wayne Rooney. He does the running of two or three players and makes a lot of space. We would be the perfect combination.

The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.

I think Messi is an absolute giant in the game. Not so much because of his dribbles and actions. That's why most people rate him. But I think, differently from others, that he is phenomenal in his teamplay and combination play.

I enjoy the football, I really love our kickarounds. I would say Chris Woakes is the best - a real Rolls-Royce midfielder. He gets himself around and he's got a silky touch. He's the main man.

Striker is my favourite position, but once I get on the pitch, whether it's out on the wing or in the middle, I just want to enjoy my football and try and produce as good a performance as possible.

It gives me a lot of confidence to play with my feet, and I have to be focused for 90 minutes.

I'm a versatile player, I'm a technical player, and I play with my head, but I can progress further.
