I take the sporting genes from my dad.

Champions league progression takes years.

Success is always the best answer to critics.

Sometimes it's easier to chase a title than it is to lead.

It is not always about signing star forwards and midfielders.

My favourite artist is Beyonce. I also like Jasmine Sullivan.

I really liked English literature, a subject I did really well at.

On the pitch if I could summarise 2018 in one word it would be progress.

My first experience playing for England was very scary and nerve wracking.

If you drop a player when his form dips, sometimes it never quite comes back.

Sometimes keeping a squad together can improve spirit and with it performances.

I struggle to understand why many in football get so upset about dual nationality.

You've got to find a sweet spot where you skill meets your passion, meets your job.

I really enjoyed my degree. But there's so many people I went to uni with that didn't.

I am proud to say I got 102 caps. I tweeted on the day of my 100th that I was 'grateful.'

I'm absolutely loving Turin's old, historical-city vibe, with the narrow, cobbled streets.

Italian sides will find it hard to attract the world's top players while there is a salary cap.

I had to deal with casual sexism while working as a pundit for ITV during the World Cup in Russia.

As a forward it is always a bit easier to avoid the kind of challenges that can cause impact injuries.

Coaches can sometimes mollycoddle players too much - if they are good enough, then they are old enough.

Standing up for what you believe in and being honest, telling the truth are all very liberating things.

An opportunity to play for your country is never senseless and especially when the games are competitive.

Just because someone doesn't have a silver spoon in their mouth doesn't mean they can't be highly intelligent.

Don't read, click links or subscribe to any media organisations that peddle sinister untruths and stereotypes.

If young players are capable of playing 90 minutes every week at European clubs why prevent them from doing that?

You can always go to uni later on in life. There's no set way. If you are at uni, work hard. Strive for your best.

Juventus offered me the opportunity to sign in 2017 and I turned it down. I just didn't feel the timing was right.

There are a lot of football clubs that are fantastic football clubs but how they treat footballers is another story.

Eventually I will own my own company and will provide advice to athletes and artists from the entertainment industry.

Off the pitch I've always believed it is healthy to switch off from football and have completely different interests too.

If you're at uni just because your parents have said so... There's a lot of success stories of people who have dropped out.

When you look at some of the greatest people and players in the world they all stand for something outside their working lives.

In a world overloaded with information and content, there is simply no excuse for fans to be ill-informed about women's football.

Sometimes clubs take their ownership of a young player for granted and do not necessarily do the best thing for their development.

A big player coming in can change the dynamics of the dressing room, upset the rhythm of the team and end up doing more harm than good.

Most clubs say they will not tolerate any forms of discrimination - that cannot be something that is just said. It needs to be acted on.

When I was a young girl I had to deal with people calling me weird and strange because I spent so much time around boys playing football.

When I considered PSG before I signed for Juventus one thing that put me off was wondering what the point is of coming second every year.

Champions League football is one of the primary reasons I joined Juventus so I am determined to help the team succeed in the competition.

Maurizio Sarri is one of those managers who can get the best out of players who aren't necessarily world class which he proved at Napoli.

It's great being part of Juventus. As expected, there's a real family feel to the club, alongside a big desire to win as often as possible.

The problem with tactical novelties that might lead to a manager being hailed as a hero is that if they do not come off they are the villain.

All over the world people know Juventus as a club affiliated with legends and success and the project with the women's side is very ambitious.

Perception is a big thing in football and people need to be more careful about how they choose to perceive young players in the first instance.

Rita Guarino is one of the best technical coaches I have had in my career - often she demonstrates a specific technique and shows the players up!

This is something that baffles me about managers: if you know the formation that you will revert to if you are in trouble, why not start with it?

I feel that sometimes managers think that, if they can come up with a tactic that leads to success in a major game, they can get all the plaudits.

It is dangerous to sit on your laurels, but a lot of the time you only have to add one or two people to the fringes of a winning team to improve it.

Many managers bring players they have previously worked with into a new club - but that doesn't always mean they will continue to enjoy success together.

For all his tactical genius Guardiola is also a manager who can be patient and loyal, who backs players to come out of bad patches and hit golden patches.
