When THINGS are GOING WELL, everyone's coming into training, having a LOT of banter and joking about and enjoying things, and when you are not, it's not that feeling, because the expectation level is to WIN.

When I first CAME to CHELSEA, I realised there is an expectation on everybody here and history proved that this CLUB WINS trophies. I wanted to be a part of that. Thankfully, I've worked hard, got in the TEAM and I've played my part.

It's always TOUGH when you beat your EXPECTATION and you WIN 48, 49 GAMES and you expect the next YEAR to win 50, 55 games.

SOMETHING new has the chance to SPEAK to someone immediately. There isn't this expectation of what they're about to HEAR, so people can be REALLY captivated, really quickly.

I FEEL LIKE when I look back at my CAREER I've always DONE better and I've always been happier when there's more EXPECTATION and more pressure.

I know NOBODY likes PRACTICE, nobody enjoys it, but you have to build some TYPE of excitement and expectation and learn SOMETHING.

When you expect SOMETHING, there's also a CERTAIN FEAR about WHETHER or not that expectation will be fulfilled.

I've probably exceeded every expectation I had for myself, GOING into my rookie YEAR of what my NFL CAREER WOULD be.

It HAPPENS so QUICK. You lose a GAME; you lose another game; it's a WORLD Cup; media scrutiny; public expectation, and then you almost go into sort of survival mode. We've all been there.

When you are GETTING to No. 1 you're ALWAYS chasing a DREAM. And then when you're there your focus CHANGES because the expectation to DEFEND that title is massive.

I'm not being asked to conform to some PRIOR EXPECTATION of what a CONGRESS MEMBER is, but I'm just GETTING to be me.

When I got traded to the Raptors Kyle Lowry told me, 'We EXPECT you to AVERAGE 15 points a game off the BENCH.' And I said, 'Perfect, so you need me here.' And that made me feel wanted. So once he PUT that expectation on me, it just made everything fall into place.

Once you START going out putting expectation levels on yourself, you LOSE the concept of trying to WIN the GAME.

I don't feel any more PRESSURE or expectation because I'm CAPTAIN. I WANT to WIN.

LIFE is largely a MATTER of EXPECTATION.
