If you score against the Italians you deserve a goal. — © Ron Atkinson
If you score against the Italians you deserve a goal.
Playing against an Italian team is harder than all the other leagues. The Italians won't score lots of goals, but they won't concede many, either.
I have come not to make war on the Italians, but to aid the Italians against Rome.
If I ever score against Spurs, I won't celebrate. Even if it's the best goal in the world, I'll keep it subdued. It's a respect thing. The fans were brilliant towards me; I'll be playing against my friends and I can't forget that.
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.
Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians.
Every time I score a goal against Hapoel the media makes a huge story out of it.
When you come to a new club you always want to score, and the first goal is special. It doesn't matter how the goal is scored, but important is the goal's worth.
It can be United or Aston Villa or Chelsea or whoever. I just want to win, and if I can score a goal against them, I'll be buzzing.
I am a firm believer that if you score one goal the other team have to score two to win.
I look for every game in the same way. And I think the league is not a sprint, it's a marathon. So you don't have to score or win against the big six - you have to score and win against everyone.
Maybe other managers would see their team score one goal and then prefer to go back and counter-attack, then try to score the second goal. A lot of those managers are the best managers at the moment, but for me, it's very important to continue the way I play.
You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.
I would be a dream to score against Madrid, that would be an unforgettable goal.
If you're playing for five hours you don't want to score goals all the time and I loved dribbling. I could score a goal, but I preferred to dribble.
Two or three years ago, every game I want to score. And after I score a goal I have a spark and I'm so happy I want more. Now I'mkind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team andI still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they winthe Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season. You have to play defense, that's how you win.
My goal is to defend our goal, save shots and not concede goals. But one thing that could happen is to score a goal from my penalty box to the other box directly.
