I am not a fan of being under water.
— Kieran Trippier
I always wanted to play for City because I was there from such a young age.
All of us have our own journeys.
You can learn a lot in the Europa League or from playing different teams from across Europe, and European football has improved me as a player.
After the World Cup, I feel more mature, more confident.
I loved Gary Neville's energy, to get up and down for 90 minutes, and his leadership as well. He was always organising; he was passionate. It was just his all-round game. He was a quality defender and could also chip in with a goal and an assist.
All I can do is keep doing the best I can, and every opportunity I get, I'll try to put balls in like David Beckham.
There is a lot of room for improvement for everybody, no matter who you are, so that is all I did, really: practice.
It's the World Cup, and everyone wants to be there. No one will be burnt out; everyone will be raring to go.
All I can do is try and keep doing my best in training and games.
I thought I was in good shape. When I was at Burnley, and we got our body fat done, I had a really good percentage. Sean Dyche was happy. I went to Tottenham, and I was well high - I think they pinch you tougher at Tottenham - that's what I think. Unless it was my all-inclusive holiday in Mexico.
I know I played for England at a World Cup with millions and millions of people watching, but I still stick to my same routine - I train, then go home to see my wife and little boy.
You need to keep working hard on the training field to show the manager you want to play.
Coming off the back of the World Cup, it is important you get that rest.
When I played for the first time against France, I wanted more.
Everybody knows what Harry Kane is all about; he's a goalscorer, a great professional.
If the manager selects me to play, I will always give everything I can.
I always thought I could get back to the Premier League, and thankfully, I did that with Burnley.
At Tottenham, it took two years for me to try to break in there. I knew my opportunity would come - it was just about being patient and working hard on the training pitch - and it did.
Whenever I get a chance, I want to do well for the other players, the staff, and, of course, the fans.
Obviously, you want English players playing in the Champions League against the very best players in Europe.
I used to watch David Beckham on YouTube for ages when I was younger.
Gary Neville played a similar position to me. Defensively and offensively, he was a quality player for Manchester United and England. His trophies speak for themselves.
I went for a tackle with Radamel Falcao against Colombia, and he just dropped to the floor. I said to him 'Just get up!'
Me and Steve Eyre, the coach at Manchester City, used to stay behind for ages after more or less every session.
My career has totally changed. Burnley helped me get to where I am, and I'll never forget that.
The training at Tottenham is intense, but the structure is set out perfectly - in the gym, running, sometimes double sessions. Every player at Tottenham is in great shape.
I wasn't in the best shape when I came to Tottenham, and the manager let me know that. Within six months there, I was in great condition.
Playing at Wembley wasn't easy.
As full-backs, we like to get high and wide. It's the style of football that I enjoy playing.
In the World Cup, you can only play who you are drawn against.
At Tottenham, we are just bombing on as wing-backs, but sometimes on the international stage, where there is so much quality, you need to be more careful about the distance between yourself and the right-sided centre-half.
I give everything, 100%, every game - win, lose, or draw.
In football, things happen so quickly.
When I was playing week-in week-out, I was playing 46 games a season, and there's nothing better than playing every week.
I got let go at City, but I always believed I could play at the top level.
I've had to work so hard in my career to get to this point, from leaving City and going to the Championship to work my way back up. I believed I could do it, and I'm grateful to Burnley and Tottenham for letting me do it in the Premier League.
Coming back to Tottenham, you feel confident with these players and the manager - the way he talks to you and wants you to play.
I analyse my games for club and country. I look at what I could have done better and learn.
I always liked how David Beckham played - his set-plays and his dead balls.
If someone makes contact with you, it is a foul, and you are going to go down.
I used to watch Beckham and Andrea Pirlo. Players like that, they had a fantastic right foot on them; everyone knows that.
I was still going out when I was younger - drinking - and I wasn't looking after myself properly.
At Burnley, I'd enjoy myself with my missus and friends, but because at Tottenham we're playing Saturday-Tuesday, even Wednesday-Sunday, and with the intensity we play at, playing in the Champions League, we can't afford to have a night out.
It's just about confidence and believing in your own ability. If you hit it over the wall, you've got every chance of it going in.
I want to stay in England.
Spain are certainly one of the best teams in the world.
You never know what could happen. Someone could get injured early in the game, so everyone knows they have to be ready. Anyone can come on at any stage in the game and make the difference.
I'll do the best I can for my family and for the fans.
Obviously, when I was playing in the Championship, I always dreamed about playing for England, putting on the jersey.
