When a striker misses a chance, people say he should have scored, but five minutes later, they don't talk about it anymore.

I'm not a keeper who hasn't shown his ability.

I know I am a good goalkeeper, and I've shown that a lot.

It definitely helps when you play regularly instead of coming in and out of the team.

It's just important that you plan your week with food and everything to try and be on your highest level on a matchday.

I think it's important to make the simple things right: the easy saves, the catches, commanding the box. On top of that, if you make a super save, then that's great. It's the main base as a goalkeeper.

It is always a battle; it doesn't matter in which club or which position. If you don't perform well, even when you start, you might lose your spot in any position.

This is life. This is football. Mistakes happen to any player.

My father didn't watch football, and it was my grandad who got me in to it.

Goalkeepers don't get second chances, but also, we can win games and be praised, so that's the way it is.

It's good to have competition and good for the club to have three strong goalkeepers.

Every manager has his own idea of playing and his own idea of the training, and everyone has a different personality.

I think I would have one favourite jacket, one favourite pair of sneakers - like, from every kind of thing I do have my favourite - but they're often the things I wear the least because I just want to keep them nice, so I don't really tend to wear them as much.

I go to the barbers every two weeks.

There's two or three lifestyle pages that I like. I like Hypebeast, and obviously, I follow @BritishGQ.

Oliver Kahn against Valencia in 2001 - this was the first Champions League game I remember. I was a Bayern fan.

It is impossible to go through a season without a mistake. Some might be major mistakes. Some might be little mistakes.

Every goalkeeper has a different way of playing. Some will take risks to help the team - coming for high balls, being prepared to be attacked in the box knowing there is not much protection from the referees - but that might mean they make more mistakes. Some try to be safer to avoid those situations, but it does not help the team.

Whether it is from the manager or fans, positive words help. You also have to balance it with negative stuff.

When I started, I was a striker for the first few months. Our goalkeeper didn't show up once, and the team was asked who wanted to fill in for him. No-one really wanted to, but I thought it would be an interesting challenge, so I agreed to do it.

I think, in general, there are no games in the Premier League where you think, 'Oh, that's an easy one.'

The spectacular things come automatically if you're a good goalkeeper, but it's very important that you do all the basics right.

I choose to be a goalkeeper.

I always try to be there when the team needs me.

I don't think a lot of players reach a Champions League final. If you look at how many goalkeepers in the league reach a Champions League final, I don't know.
