I do my best every time I play to put pressure on the manager and try to play more.
In Brazil, the one who wears 10 constructs the attacks. That is what I will try to do here. The number I have at Liverpool does not give me any added pressure. The pressure I have is to play well and do my best for the team. I know that I am representing a huge club, and I want to enjoy my football.
I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.
To be a winner, you've got to be an appraiser. You've got to be able to play at your best under pressure. And more money creates more pressure. Money is the finest fuel in the world.
To play with pressure is always a good thing. I like to play with pressure.
My outlook is that when you're under pressure then that is when you play your best cricket. You've got no choice but to perform to keep your place and I find that brings out the best in me.
I feel pressure every day. It is only pressure that I put on myself, but I would expect all professional sportspeople to feel pressure to perform their best whenever they are at work.
Pressure can make a diamond. Pressure makes me play better because I don't want to let my teammates or my fans down, and that makes me play extra hard.
I think pressure is great; it can make the game more exciting and force us to play our best.
I don't have pressure on me. I just put pressure on myself to play hard every day.
There's pressure every night to be the best on the court. I put a lot of pressure on myself. Pressure is part of the game. It is also part of life. I want to prove I can do the work and be a success off the court as well as on it.
When you play for Liverpool, there's always pressure, pressure to perform, expectation. Of course, that's the reason why you want to go there.
I actually think I play better with pressure, that extra pressure when the team needs something more and things like that.
I had a lot of pressure in my career: when you play at World Cup or Champions League final, there is pressure on your shoulders.
Pressure is always in the back of your mind, but that's the pressure that drives you on and makes you perform to the best you can be.
I've played regularly in a big club at Benfica, where it is not easy and there is a lot of pressure. In those years I learned to be a winner and play under that pressure.
