Ben Chilwell

I'm very critical of myself and I know the levels I want to achieve so I'm very hard on myself. So the staff and players are very hard on me as well, which is what I want as I want to get to as high a level as possible.

I'm at Leicester and with Brendan Rodgers coming in we're all loving him being there and that's where my head's at.

Over the summer, you do have to take that time to relax and go on holiday with your mates and get away from football.

I had what Leicester gave me but then I worked with a guy around my house, a guy that my agent recommended. I worked with him for the three weeks solid, leading back into pre-season. We were just doing horrible running. Minging running! It wasn't pretty to be fair!

I have been at Leicester since I was 12 and to play for England at the King Power is obviously going to be my dream.

If I keep playing well for Leicester, all I can do is keep trying to knock on the door.

I was enjoying my football, even though it wasn’t really going well. That’s when I said to my dad, who as a New Zealander was very keen on me playing cricket, that I would choose football."

If you want to be a top player you have to play well for the whole season and then ten more seasons, not just three or four games.

There’s a lot of pressure we put on ourselves because we want to do well for ourselves and obviously do well for your country.

I have always had confidence and known what I am capable of. So it is frustrating when you are not showing everyone.
