I've always had a good relationship with superstar players. I don't really demand the ball a lot.
In football you need to look to make life difficult for the opponent.
There's obviously a push to protect the quarterback, but you have to give the defensive players a chance. All of the quarterback has to do is pull the ball, and he's a runner. How's the defender going to know if the ball is pulled or not?
Liverpool are known for this 'rock and roll' football. I think I've adapted well to this even if, as a player, I like to hold onto the ball longer.
It starts the fast-break a lot easier when I get the ball. I don't have to wait for big men to give me it. Just get it and go.
I think that football has changed, it has become more complex. For example, it's faster, you have less free space, and you have to play from such small spaces.
Guardiola has helped me so when I receive the ball, I have space.
Whether I play five or 10 metres forward or back does not change my way of playing, to be on the ball a lot.
I love watching English football. There are teams in the Premier League that play a style similar to Spanish teams - Arsenal, for example - but in general, it's much quicker; there's so much pace.
With Bayern, we want a lot of ball possession and to control the play, so I operate sometimes like the 11th outfield player. Thus I am included a lot into the build-up play and have a lot of touches of the ball.
I like to play attacking football, but I think the big difference is that we expect a lot more from our strikers, to do more pressing and to keep compact. We like to play a high line defensively and press the ball.
Turning the ball over is something you don't want to do as a quarterback.
If you do an outside spin with the ball, it's more difficult to control it, so I try to pass it in a way that allows them to take the ball quicker in their path. That way, they may have more of an advantage to score or create themselves.
As a competitor, as an athlete, you want the ball to come to you.
On one-on-one, I'm either trying to get the first down or trying to score.
I just see the ball and I go for it. It's wanting to make a winning play for the team and get a rebound.
I genuinely enjoy watching the full-back run up the pitch and going across to fill in.
I can be the only defensive midfielder and try and break up play. Or I can play a little more forward.
Wazza, when he plays behind the striker, he is very dangerous because he has more touches of the ball, and Wazza can create the goal as well and can score.
I probably prefer Spanish football to the others. It's very technical, the way they play; they keep the ball well, and whenever Spurs have played against Spanish teams in the past, they've always made it difficult for us.
I know what to do when they give me the ball. I know what to do to give this team a chance to win.
When I don't have control of the ball, what do I do? I press to get it back. It's a way of defending.
When teams train now, it is about what they do with the ball and, if they lose it, how quickly they press to win it back.
Scottish football doesn't suit me perfectly, how I want to play football.
We know it's impossible sometimes to have good defending against Cristiano Ronaldo but we want to keep the ball, with good possession, as then he can do nothing in attack.
