Different strikers are happy when they score but you have to think about the team - the assist and movements which can give space for your team mates. You can never quit. It's teamwork.
My target is to score the most goals I can and assist my team-mates to score to.
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
Celebrations have now become too selfish and I don't like it. When I used to score I was happy to celebrate with my team-mates. Now when players score it is all about them.
I want to thank my team mates in the national team and also at Dortmund. It is their work that helps me to score goals.
All I'm after is a few square metres to be myself. A space where I can continue to profess my creed: take the ball, give it to a team-mate, my team-mate scores. It's called an assist, and it's my way of spreading happiness.
I'm sure in some moments, I will score, I will assist, and I will perform. And that will help my team-mates to win the game.
Of course, I enjoy assisting my team-mates because playing no.10 is the position you have to serve your team-mates.
The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it's a plus for the team.
I try to assist team-mates.
A team doesn't have the ball for 90 minutes. It is about the recoveries. I do my best to do that and help the team any way I can. If that's a pass, an assist, a tackle or even if it's only running, I do it for the team.
If I am helping my team-mates in some way, giving assistance, passing the ball, I'll already be very happy, but of course, in my position, I have to score.
The only thing I think about is helping the team, respecting all my team-mates, not being selfish.
Some guys have to score more off the bench because that's what their team needs. But some other teams need someone that's going to assist or rebound. It all depends on what he brings to that team and how much it helps their win-loss record and how much they change their team.
When I joined Newcastle, at the beginning it was difficult. During pre-season, there was no Ramadan and I also didn't score then. So it's a myth. It was about getting into the team, knowing the players better and how they play. My team-mates also have to understand how I play and move.
I want to be able to give the best of myself to the team and contribute with my team-mates to winning more titles.
I'm a player that usually focus on my team, try to give the best for my team-mates, and I don't look much at what the other teams do.
