It was frustrating at Arsenal, obviously. For a year and a half, it went from bad to worse. I could no longer continue like that. I could not bring myself to spend another year at Arsenal and remain a reserve, even a second reserve.
You have to communicate - you have to click - to find automatic reactions with your teammates.
It is really nice to play in the Champions League, because we play against the best teams and the best competition in Europe.
Football, if I can say, is an everlasting new beginning. You always question yourself, but you have to be ready not just mentally but physically as well. You have to be fit and take care of your body.
Fortunately, I'm OK with my body. I try to take care of it. I played a lot of games over a season for several years, so, touch wood, I will stay fit and healthy.
Even if we don't play fantastically, with good passing and precision and finesse, the most important thing is to win.
That's why I love the Premier League - it's the best championship; it is very hard.
