I don't like to compare coaches.

Every coach will have good and bad.

In Spain, there's a lot more publicity.

It would be a dream to go to my first World Cup.

The Cameroon fans always bring a good atmosphere.

In Spain, they're never direct, and that frustrates me.

At a club like Everton, we've always set our standards high.

I'm trying to create a better pathway for the next generation.

Tactics have changed a lot, but the standard is getting better.

If the goals were a bit bigger, maybe I'd score a few more goals!

It was a dream come true to wear the famous colours of FC Barcelona.

I think you judge players and managers on how they perform at World Cups.

Naturally, managers and coaches are trying to find different ways to work.

We're no longer scared of these nations - the Germany, U.S.A., and Frances.

I didn't have role models to look up to because there was no access to them.

At Barcelona, all men's and women's teams have the same style and philosophy.

When I was younger, I never thought I'd be brave enough to go and play abroad.

When you sign a contract, that's your deal. Everyone has different deals anyway.

When I was 12, I was told I couldn't play with the boys anymore, and I was devastated.

Any athlete will tell you that it's the most difficult thing in the world being injured.

I'd recommend for any little girl starting out to play with the boys as long as possible.

Clubs in other countries can step up, and we can kick on with women's football even more.

For me, Barcelona are the biggest club in the world, and naturally, I wanted to come here.

I spent four years at Manchester City and won three trophies. It was a big wrench to leave.

It was always our aim to raise the profile of the game, and I believe it's only going to get bigger.

It was tough, so hard; it really was horrible when I was growing up. I was called so many names, all sorts.

There will have been girls my age who stopped playing because of the spiteful things that were said to them.

In England, if you don't have good facilities, you can't be in the Super League, and that is very important.

I've learnt to be more patient, more comfortable on the ball, and the number of goals I've scored, I'm happy.

I want to do the Atletico fans proud and hope that they will get behind me - together we can achieve great things.

I dreamt of playing in front of thousands of people as a kid, but I dreamt of playing in World Cup finals as well.

It's not just about going to play football abroad: it's a chance to live and work in a fantastic city like Barcelona.

FC Barcelona are known all over the world for playing attractive football, and I naturally wanted to be part of that.

I'm not too bad at reading, but I've got a bit of a confidence problem with speaking, with going from Scouse to Spanish.

Since I've lived in Barcelona, I've played a bit of padel, so maybe I'll become World Champion at that - joking, of course!

It's kind of nice, and rewarding, to have been on the journey from having to play football and work to being a professional.

It's always something that's played on my mind, being an Olympian, so hopefully we get there and do the job at the World Cup.

The competition for World Cup places is massive, and you can't just rest on what you've done in the past or anything like that.

I think I need another trophy on my list, and I know that Barca's ambition is to win the Champions League. This is my goal, too.

I think it's important that the English culture changes a little bit and we do start to go abroad and step out of our comfort zone.

Luis Suarez's always been a great role model for me. His style of play is sometimes like he's playing with his mates in the street.

We want to take ourselves out of our comfort zones; when you're in your comfort zone for so long, you only play to a certain level.

Most coaches' attention to detail is very good; it's their job. They have to analyse teams, and they have to analyse their own team.

I am proud to be a Next 20 ambassador for Kick It Out and take this role very seriously for an organisation that does such good work.

In England, you pass from A to B, and it goes to B, but in Barcelona, you have to go to D and then to F, and it really works your brain.

It was a big step for me to take, going away from my family to go and play in a different culture, and I understand why people don't do it.

I can only thank Manchester City for everything they have done for me. What we have achieved in such a short space of time has been amazing.

At Manchester City, the women are not second-class citizens in any regard. We are treated exactly the same way - it's a level playing field.

As soon as central contracts came in, it meant that girls could give up their jobs. The main focus was football, and that's what it has to be.

Every club has legends, and at Barcelona, Cruyff and Pep are going to be spoken about forever, knowing what they've achieved and in what style.
