The thing I expect from myself, when I play, is to score, in every game. If I don't, then it happens. But when you start a game, if you are a striker, you need to score.
I don't pick tournaments to score or rivals or other teams to score against. I'm a striker: every game I play, I want to score.
I mean, if I could score 40 every game, then I would score 40 every game. But I think I cannot score 40 every game, so I'm gonna pass a little bit, too.
I'm a striker: I want to score in every game, work very hard, and then we'll see what happens on the field.
You know when you go to a club and you are a striker, that the people expect you to score some goals. That's what I'm trying to do, every game.
I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.
If I have to score baskets then I have to try to score baskets and stop missing shots, but even if it's not going, I need to be able to have another phase of the game and not let my offense take away from my defense or rebounds.
Penalties are part of the game, you know. You need to score. You have the chance but you need to score.
I try to score in every game and I don't feel sorry for anybody: If we win and I score that's fine, nothing else matters.
I shared a dressing room with Alan Shearer. I used to watch the opposition looking at him, and they'd be thinking they need to score more than one because Shearer is going to score, and he scores every game. That psychological advantage is fantastic.
There's kind of a cool feel that happens every now and then. I guess that feel is the thing that makes the score its own score. But, I don't know exactly what that is. So, it's hard for me to answer that question.
You can't expect to score lots of goals in every game; football isn't like that.
I've never seen a player that can dominate a game the way LeBron James can. He don't always have to score. He makes plays for other guys. But when the game is on the line, and you need a shot to be made, he's going to make that play.
I remember, playing in college especially, I cried in almost every game I played. I just felt so much stress and pressure that I was letting everyone down if I didn't score a goal or win the game. I carried that weight with me into every game.
I knew I could play really well in one game, score the winning goal and then, come the next game, I wouldn't play at all or I might come off the bench for the last five minutes. So I was frustrated towards the end of my time at Spurs. I wasn't happy.
Everyone is expecting something in each game I'm playing. I don't have to score in every game, but I want to do my best. I want to give everything for the club, for my teammates, and myself also.
If you don't play well, people don't watch the game, but if you have scored, your name flashes up; it doesn't matter how you've played. So as a striker, that is what I've got to try to do - make sure I score - and if you're doing that, you're also helping the team.
