Pressure is always in the back of your mind, but that's the pressure that drives you on and makes you perform to the best you can be.

I'd say I'm a front foot defender; I never hesitate to go in for a challenge. You have to get one over your opponent and dominate them.

The game is not just about the top four or five teams; it's the whole league that needs to be stable and developing. Without the other teams, we are nothing.

The 2017 European Championship was my first major tournament for England, but everyone tells me the World Cup is a different level.

You win physically, you get momentum, and you get a foot in the game by winning your tackles and being dominant in that area. Then you can start to make your passes.

It's helped to develop me on the pitch, knowing all the positions, but also it's a good asset to have, that versatility. I'm able to move if I'm needed.

I definitely want to be successful in the Champions League, having never been involved in it before. It's where the best players prove themselves.

Being vice-captain at Chelsea, I've learned to manage my emotions better this season and have matured massively, but part of that is embracing those feelings of disappointment rather than suppressing them and pretending everything is OK.

People just need to be open-minded enough to accept the game for what it is. If you don't want to see it, then you're never going to appreciate it, which is fine; it's your choice. But we appreciate not being slated in the meantime.

You have to get one above your opponent; being on the front foot allows you to do that. It allows you to dominate them.

When I was younger, I had a fear of being judged as a footballer, and my worst fear was feeling like I didn't belong at the level of football I was playing.

I think I've always been regarded as a mentally strong person and a tough character, but it took me a while to reach a point where I realised that internalising your emotions wasn't doing me any good.
