I'm the Inter striker, and in football, if the strikers aren't scoring, then they're not helping.
My second year in Rome was very good. Back then, a striker was a striker. Strikers scored goals; they didn't defend. Today this is normal, but it wasn't at that time. If you wanted to play my style of football you couldn't have old players or famous players who were unwilling to do the job both ways: attacking and also defending.
When you're a kid you want to be a striker, you want to be scoring goals. I still want to be scoring goals! It's the easiest part of football, no it's not, it's the best part of football - the one you enjoy the most. But I always knew that my particular skill set was more suited to being a goalkeeper.
I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.
Scoring goals is scoring goals. From a striker's point of view, the aim is the same.
I've beaten Jordan Mein. I've beaten Tarec Saffiedine. Some people might have said I beat Stephen Thompson. I beat Robbie Lawler. These are the greatest strikers in our sport, but I'm the only one out of all those guys that outstruck the best strikers, and I still don't get the credit for being the best striker in our division.
I'm not silly enough to say I don't take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad - and of English players scoring who weren't in the squad.
I spent three seasons at Benfica looking to be in the first eleven. Sometimes I got in and sometimes I didn't. Sometimes injuries denied me. Sometimes the strikers who were in my position, they were scoring and scoring so it was difficult to play.
We strikers, when we're scoring, we're confident, and we'll try and hit anything.
As a striker, I love scoring and when we're not, we're not that happy.
Scoring a goal is just the best feeling for a striker.
The fact is that the coach wanted to recruit a new striker, and with Aubameyang's signing at Arsenal, there were three top strikers, and that's why I decided to leave.
Every striker has to have that edge. When they are not scoring, or when the team is losing, they explode.
Sometimes, if a striker is not scoring as many goals, they can still be in good form.
The position as a striker is the hardest one in the Premier League. If you look at some top, top strikers, even they struggle to score goals here.
I am sure for every striker, scoring goals gives them confidence.
Obviously when you're a striker you need to score. The manager's not going to just play you if you're not scoring.
