Quotes from Wayne Bridge

There's two players that really stand out: Sean Wright-Phillips and Aaron Lennon. They're very small so have a low centre of gravity so they're very quick over five yards. You always had to stay switched on and try and predict where they were going as it was always a battle with those two.
~ Wayne Bridge
I didn't mind playing against Ronaldo. He wasn't as quick as me over the first few yards, I always felt that I could stick with him and I always felt I did okay against him. You always had to be switched on. He loved a step-over and was very skillful and he could sometimes make you look stupid.
~ Wayne Bridge

The players love Guardiola's methods and it shows on the pitch. I think every player would like to work with him.
~ Wayne Bridge
I used to track back from midfield but I never saw myself as a defender. Dave Jones thought I could do the job and then Glenn Hoddle after that. He showed a lot of faith in me and told me, even back then, that I had the ability to play for England.
~ Wayne Bridge
My team-mates think I'm a bit of a gym monkey.
~ Wayne Bridge
When I played against Joe Cole, if I was ever less than 100 per cent I'd know about it because he can twist and turn you inside out.

I need power, and good core strength, with strong muscles to deal with all the twisting and turning.
~ Wayne Bridge
I had a tough spell under Mourinho where I was in and out of the team, although I did turn a corner with him at one stage before injuries unfortunately got in my way. He could be a tough person to play for. When you were in favour with him it was great, but when you weren't you could feel like an outcast.
~ Wayne Bridge
I played under Mourinho and went through good and bad spells with him. You could be playing a game and he has it in him to drag you off after half an hour and then he won't talk to you. And that can kill a player.

~ Wayne Bridge
There's no point screaming and shouting at the manager.
