Sergio Ramos is very good. I know him very well: great defender, great with the ball. Van Dijk is also the same: so strong, very good in the air, scores goals. Two big players.

Pedro

Niang is very good in front of the goal, and he's also a quick learner. He is a versatile striker who can play both as a centre forward and as a second striker.

Massimiliano Allegri

I miss scoring lots of goals, but I have always thought that a striker should not be judged just by the amount of goals he scores. The work he does for the team is also important.

Bojan Krkic

Matthijs is very mature for his age: he has the physique of a 24-year-old. He is also strong with both feet, has an extremely good range of passing, can head the ball, scores goals, and is a real leader at the back already at the age of 18.

Edwin van der Sar

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.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

Nowadays, as soon as a striker scores three goals, everyone starts asking him about it.

Just Fontaine

Every accountable child of God needs to set goals, short- and long-range goals. A man who is pressing forward to accomplish worthy goals can soon put despondency under his feet, and once a goal is accomplished, others can be set up.

Ezra Taft Benson

Ronaldinho is very complete. He's a good header of the ball, he strikes it well with both feet, he dribbles, he scores.

Cafu

Uriah Hall is just a dynamic striker. He mixes it up well on his feet, that's where I expect him to be good at.

Derek Brunson

A striker scores goals, but the goalkeepers saves them, the defenders close chances down, and all the credit is shared out.

Edinson Cavani

When my father played in the local team, I always used to go with him to watch him. He played as a striker. He was very good; he used to score a lot of goals. Once, he scored seven goals in one game.

Richarlison

The specific goals we set for ourselves are almost always subsidiary to our long range intentions. A good parent, a good neighbour, a good citizen, is not good because his specific goals are acceptable, but because his successive goals are ordered to a dependable and socially desirable set of values. (1947)

Gordon Allport

You can have a striker who scores 50 goals in one season but if you win nothing it means nothing.

Branislav Ivanovic

He scores goals, assists, and he's got everything that you'd ask for in a striker. We, as African players, are all proud of what Didier achieved as a player. The way he holds himself is unbelievable.
