You know when you go to a club and you are a striker, that the people expect you to score some goals. That's what I'm trying to do, every game.
Goals are what count for me. It's not about a battle with defenders. Fighting hard, giving everything and working hard on the field you have to combine with the goals you score.

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.
