Quotes from Lukasz Fabianski

When I played for Arsenal, like once per month, you always had this feeling you had to perform.

At Arsenal and the so-called big clubs, you always know that there will be a bigger spotlight on every single position.

Arsene Wenger gave me the belief to keep working and competing. He was not talking to me every day, 'I believe in you,' but it was every now and again. The right amount.

Of course, I made some mistakes as Arsenal goalie but I am sure that people also remember that I was unlucky with injuries.

There were periods when I was first-choice keeper and was starting to consolidate my position when out of the blue I got injured. It happened a few times and it really unsettled me.

Before my last year at Arsenal, when we won the FA Cup, I was really up and down, never really consistent, and never really put my mark on the team. I understand that then there were question marks over my name.

I was always respectful to Arsene and I think he respected me for that. We had a good relationship and understanding. We spoke a lot after going through many ups and downs and, overall, I'm very proud of the way I finished my career with Arsenal.

I think the idea of crazy goalkeepers is an old thing, really.

I had come from Poland and the attention on you is much bigger when you get to the Premier League, so everything was doubled or tripled. Obviously, there were times when I struggled to deal with the criticism.

I have the idea that when you put yourself through hard, detailed training, and you put a lot of attention into all the little details - the analysis of the opposition, the movement and understanding of the game, the way your opponent plays - then you shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.

You go into every game knowing that somebody wants to compete with you and take your place. There is no easy option and you always have to prove yourself.

I just like documentaries.
