Personally, scoring goals creates confidence and I gain the mental stability and get poised from it.
You work every day technically, physically but so much is in the mind. Look at when players go on big scoring runs, then stop scoring. It's not that they are any different physically, it's very often mental, confidence, concentration.
I started to play, like all kids do, not as a goalkeeper. I liked scoring goals; in the end, it's all about scoring goals.
I have always been scoring goals, and now the quality of goals I am scoring is better.
Scoring goals is scoring goals. From a striker's point of view, the aim is the same.
I feel like more than 80% of the world wouldn't get up in front of 40 million people and dance on national television, and if I have the confidence to do that then that's a step ahead in my life for me in terms of personal goals. I will gain a lot of confidence on all aspects right there.
I am sure for every striker, scoring goals gives them confidence.
Scoring goals is what I love, and it gives me that confidence every time I hit the net.
That's what the big players get recognised for, scoring goals or creating goals.
It is a great boost for confidence in a squad when there is not just one or two players scoring goals, but the whole team is contributing.
I don't personally think of myself as an icon, but it's definitely an incredible thing. Scoring 16 goals at the World Cup is something you only usually dream about.
What fulfills me are the goals that I have in life. And those goals are not just about scoring goals, although the goals give me a lot of strength and happiness.
I prefer scoring goals, but when I am playing out on the right, I tend to come inside and provide assists, but I also like playing on the left, and I think if that is where I play, then I will have more chance of scoring - but I just hope I can help the team score goals with my assists.
I've always been a player that likes to get round the back and get crosses in for other people. When I first burst on to the scene some people only saw the goals I was scoring. More recently they've taken notice of the goals I've set up. It is nice to be recognized for that.
I've always been known more for giving assists than scoring - but of course, I enjoy scoring goals, too.
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.
As a veteran, you're a little more poised on that mental side. But athletically, I didn't really think I could get better.
