Look, it was normal.

It was tools that I didn't know any different.

We didn't know any different.

And, you know, like I see the habits of footballers.

I was terrible with it.

It was, you know, like we talk about OCD and all that type of stuff.

We were, like I was, if I won a game, the next week I'd drive, I'd do exactly the same as what I'd done last week.

I'd leave the same time.

I'd even know if the traffic lights were green that time.

If they were green or if they were red, it was like, oh no, I'm going to lose.

And that would be eating me away for the next five minutes.

No, it ain't going to matter.

It ain't going to matter.

But even through training, it was, if I didn't prepare myself right, if I didn't do, if I was late for training or if I took, you know, if I had a bad week in training, I knew it was going to affect me in the game.

Or if I give the ball away in the first couple of minutes, it's because what's happened all week.

I haven't done this properly.

I haven't done that.

And this is football paying me back for it.

So,

That's why I probably drove myself a little bit insane with the habits of training hard and making sure you do things right, because I thought that's the only way I was going to get the just results on a Saturday.
