You need to shoot to score the goal. If it goes wide, you just need to keep going and keep your head up.
You grow up faster in a place where anything goes.
You can't beat playing for your country I don't think.
You can have a bad pass or a bad shot, but you need to do this to take the risk.
Where I come from, the estates are not so nice. It is a bit gritty.
Whenever I think it's getting a bit much I'll go to my family and they will sit me down and bring me back to earth.
When you play with the older people it helps you mentally, because they're bigger and stronger than you. You have to live up to that.
When Thierry Henry was U19 coach at Arsenal he gave me a lot of advice. His main thing was staying grounded.
We would go to the football pitch near my estate and play until it was dark.
Thierry is an Arsenal legend and I had an opportunity to spend time with him when he was a coach at the academy.
The main thing for me is getting in the starting eleven and making an impact whenever I can come on.
Street football is very important.
Raheem Sterling is a role model to a lot of young lads coming through.
My family made big sacrifices but little gestures mean a lot. My sister took me to training when she was pregnant.
MMA is something that I may want to get into after football.
I just need to stay loyal to God and anything can happen.
I need to just keep training hard and getting all the information from the coaches and the players.
I not only developed as a player in Germany but also as a person.
I think that's good for a coach to have two sides the jokey side and the fiery side.
I want to be an Arsenal legend.
I want to keep doing what I'm doing and, if I do get the opportunity to play for the first team I will give everything.
I went away in Germany and I think I did well. But the main goal for me has always been playing in an Arsenal shirt week in, week out.
I'm a really big UFC fan.
I'm liking the Bundesliga. There's a lot of top, top defenders that you come across.
If I wasn't aiming to break into the Arsenal first team, that wouldn't be the correct mindset.
In Germany it's more physical. It's a lot of aggressive runs in behind and getting into the box.
Mesut's been talking to me and really helping me through the games.
