Improving Stamina as a Soccer player

Hey,

I'm an 18 year old Soccer player with decent touch and skill. My bigger problem on the field is that I get tired pretty fast. I'm out of breath, fatigue kicks in and I just don't want to run anymore. What can I do to improve my stamina and run for longer periods of time? I tried pushing myself, but then there's always a lazy part of me who tells me to relax and just take a break.
 
Join a gym? Squatting? Leg press? Running everyday? Nutrition? These can help you get your legs in a better condition but you have to stay consistent and you are basically wanting to get in shape because when you can't run for a long period of time it means your not in shape. I suggest you do all those things I listed and just run whenever you can around your neighbour hood or local track. That and leg press will benefit your legs the most. EDIT: I forgot to mention.. Drink plenty of water before and during games but not to much..
