Training has always been top level. No matter if it's at a World Cup or not, training's been really good and at a high level.
It was tough, mentally, at Chelsea not getting the game time, but I had to be really patient and have the mentality to still train right and do all the right things.
I want to work really hard.
All I do is try to do my best, and I try to enjoy my football as well.
I don't really let the pressure get to me.
It was amazing to be playing at Stamford Bridge with the stadium full.
Playing with some of the best players in the world, you're going to get better every day.
It's important for me to work hard and give 100 per cent in training to try to improve.
It's tough being at Chelsea. I work hard every day in training. It's a massive club with really good players, so you don't get the opportunity every weekend.
Coming to Crystal Palace, I'm really excited to be playing. There's still massive competition here.
My goal simply was to have an impact, to try to make a contribution and help the team win. I wasn't thinking, 'I want to play well, so I start the next game.' But every kid's dream is to play in the World Cup. Watching at home with your parents when you're 10 years old, you never think you'll be there in the future.
Any game in the World Cup is a tough game. The atmosphere brings a lot out of both teams.
I don't understand what's going on behind the scenes fully, but Chelsea's a massive club, and I understand why chances don't come so often.
I want to play. I want to play as much as I can.
I'm confident in my ability that I can do well wherever it is.
I do some yoga, but it's just about managing my back because that step up physically to men's football is big. I know I look big and strong, but it's still hard on my body. But I'm feeling stronger and stronger the more I play.
I'm getting more confident the more I play.
I'm not one to bow under immense pressure. I know how to deal with it. As a youth player growing up and playing for England, you deal with it then and get used to it. You just carry on into the bigger stages, and it has become natural to me.
Playing at the World Cup stage excites me.
I'm not afraid of any competition. I'm not going to be intimidated by any player or team. That is fundamental in football if you want to do well.
