MOUSA DEMBELE

It's a very good thing to have a group that stays together and understands each other as well.

I don't like to be too serious. I think, off the pitch, I can have a laugh with everyone.

I'm a social guy, I think.

When you have pain, you have pain, and it's always, like, 30 percent there. Of course, there were some games when I was struggling a lot, but there are different solutions to solve it - anti-inflammatory and this kind of thing - so the pain goes away a bit.

I like African music but also R&B, rap, alternative rock, and classic.

Tottenham play some of the most attractive football in the Premier League - we have a beautiful style of play.

It is not in my character to be so emotional.

I couldn't have imagined Belgium being number one in the world.

I like to challenge myself, to compare myself against the best.

You have an atmosphere at Tottenham like, 'Okay, we are not scared of anyone,' and we have the same feeling with the national team. Everywhere we go at Tottenham, we have a good feeling.

I don't like to stand there and wait until the ball comes to my feet. I like to take the ball and run with it.

I don't know a lot about football.

To hear my name sung at WHL & Wembley made me incredibly proud.

If you don't fit into the team, it's going to be difficult for you.

I think that most players enjoy playing football, but, like in everything, there are good moments and bad moments.

I just like to play, to pass the ball and dribble.

I've played a lot of games, and automatically, if I play a lot of games, I feel fitter, much stronger, and good.

A club like Tottenham are up there with the top teams, and I think they have to be in the Champions League.

I like to watch the top teams in different countries, like Spain or Bayern Munich in Germany. The rest I don't watch. I have nothing to do with that. I'm not a freak. I know guys who watch every game. I'm not like that.

I am not the sort of player who runs away.

Before I came to Tottenham, I was a big fan of Luka Modric.

I want to score goals and make goals.

I've been five times to Mali, and when you're there, it makes you feel differently, like you realise you've a lot in life to be thankful for, and you have to give something back as well.

I always had a lot of confidence in myself.

Nobody is perfect. Even Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo can sometimes look like players from League One.
