If you give time and space to players, they will make good decisions and score goals.
At the same time the players around me almost make it an automatism to score goals. We have so much quality and speed on the pitch - the genius of players like Mario Gotze or Marco Reus has to lead to goals.
I want to play in every match, score goals when the opportunity presents itself, and help players in good positions to also score goals.
We can't score goals, we can't stop goals, we aren't hitting, we can't play on special teams... we all stink. We can try to improve but to do so we will need to make trades. And who would want our players that are underachieving?
Of course, the attacking players get the attention because they score the goals, score nice goals, and those are the moments that remain in memory. But I wish that other players who are not in the foreground, who still perform well for their club or association, get more recognition.
Nobody ever tells me to give them a pass or anything. My job is to score goals, and if I don't shoot the puck, I can't score goals.
I'm just going to give my all every game, be a good box-to-box midfielder, hopefully score some goals, and I will always give it 100 per cent.
I have tried to convince the players that if we work on certain things in training, they will happen in games and we will score goals from them.
If the spectators demand from the players that they do their utmost and score goals, the players shouldn't question this.
As a striker, people look at the goals you score. But for me, my game is more than just about goals, it is how you link with other players.
During my time with Maccabi Tel Aviv, I learned how to play better by using my head. I was given the chance of playing a more forward position so I could score many goals. In short, I have become a player who can score goals and win games.
Everyone talks about the forwards, the players when they are scoring goals. But sometimes I look for the complete player not just the players who score but those who can pass.
If you give Shevchenko half a chance, he'll score two goals. That's how good he is
Any time you do something, you make decisions about time and space. I wanted those decisions to be out of my hands. I could be dragged, carried along by another person, I could be a receiver. I could be the agent of the overall scheme, but I didn't want to be the agent of the particular action. I could make the ultimate decision that my space is going to change now, but I don't know where it's going to go.
Messi not scoring? Great players aren't only great because of goals. If they don't score, they offer goals to teammates
I'm not in search of records like some other players. If I can score between 15 and 20 goals each season, I will be very happy.
I believe the most important thing for the defender is to take the ball away from the opposing team, no matter what, and not to allow any space or give any occasions for opponents to score goals.
