Interviewed by Everton official channel, 25-year old English winger Demarai Gray, playing for Toffees since late July, stated:

"Every young player will enjoy the hype – you start to recognise your potential and how people see you. But the minute there is a dip, the player starts questioning themselves. I was thinking, ‘Am I this? Am I that? Am I disappointing people?’ As you mature, you eventually understand it, and your place in the world.

You have to enjoy the game to get the best out of yourself. I used to look for the praise and the negative comments. I would let the negative things affect me. But it is a waste of mental energy, isn’t it? I want to do what my manager and team need from me. Then, ultimately, I am doing this for myself and my family.

Wolverhampton trial, when I was a kid? I didn’t like it, I just wanted to play with my mates at Birmingham City. My mum took me to training on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, for years. She always made sure I was on time and had what I needed. Without that, who knows where I would be? But the male side, knowing more about football and the little things I needed to do… they played a massive part. And that's where my uncle Marlon turned up”.
