David impresses by his example on the field. He never stops running, he plays with supreme confidence, he always tries his hardest and he scores important goals.
(on David Beckham)
I want to be one of those strikers who not only scores goals and wins games, but who works hard for the team.
People say, 'Pep won in Barca, but it was boring,' or, 'Pep won in Bayern, but it was boring.' I understand that. But games won, goals scored, goals conceded, titles... sorry, guys, it was good!
It doesn't matter who scores the goals, just that we win the games.
I think the greatest Real Madrid player of all time is Cristiano Ronaldo followed by Ferenc Puskas.
Ronaldo equalled Puskas’ great record of 242 goals in fewer games.
He was also the fastest Real Madrid player to score 100 goals and holds the record for most goals scored for Madrid in a season.
David Alaba has a very good left foot. He's scored some good goals and free kicks.
I've scored as many goals for Manchester United in the Premier League as for Chelsea, but in something like 30 games less.
You play 162 games so let's say 100 of them come down to the end where you see the game is out of reach one way or the other. I feel like the other 62 are close games so you're going to be into those at-bats. If you do that, that's 100 at-bats. That's almost a month worth of at-bats where you're not as focused as you might be in those 62.
It would be a joke to compare Gerd Muller to other strikers. What he achieved, the number of games and the goals scored, is unique. That's what I have told him in person.
What fulfills me are the goals that I have in life. And those goals are not just about scoring goals, although the goals give me a lot of strength and happiness.
If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.
Everybody knows my life. I won a lot of tournaments and scored more than 1,000 goals, won three World Cups but I could not play in Olympic Games.
I watch a lot of tapes, a lot of games, all the replays. You watch the highlights on TV, those are all about goals getting scored or big saves. So you just look and see what guys do and how they're successful, and sometimes I see something and I go, Wow, that could work for me.
I'm 28 now. I've played 10 seasons in the top division, scored 170 goals in 400 games, and still I'm having to prove to people that I'm a decent player.
Win games. Win games in the playoffs. Win the Super Bowl. That's what it comes down to. The ultimate goal is to start off by winning the division and go from there. Those are the big goals.
I feel embarrassed at times when I come off the pitch because we are losing games and not scoring goals and conceding goals. It's not nice.
