extracts from The Clare Balding Show which will feature Robin van Persie tonight from 8pm on BT Sport 1.
Q: How is it training away from the team?
A: It is a bit lonely when you’re away, you know coming back from injury. Sometimes you leave your house at 8 in the morning and come back at 8 in the evening, that’s why I’m happy to be back with the team.
Q – How is it with Ryan Giggs being your manager? Was he training with you today?
A – Today he was, today he was excellent and he’s still unbelievable. A – I’m here now for two years and he’s been unbelievable. The way he trains, the way he behaves, the way he speaks to everyone.
Quote about playing football – I wanted to play football, for no other reason. There’s people who play football to buy a nice car, to buy a nice house, to buy a nice watch. Up till today, I’ve never played for one second with those things in mind. I always played football because I loved it, and I still do.'
