I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.
I still believe I can be a striker but, if you want to be a striker, you have to think more about yourself and that's why you are a striker.
I used to play as a striker in Holland. I grew up as a striker. That's the position I want to play.
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.
You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.
I'm showing the boss what I can do. I was bought as a striker and I always believe I am a striker.
I played behind the main striker at Dortmund, but I usually play on the left with Japan.
I know I have missed some chances, but that's part of being a striker, and I know it's part of being a striker that when you don't score, people talk about it.
Everyone gets in a bad mood at some point - a striker because there is allegedly a new striker on the way, the same for a midfielder.
Style-wise, dos Santos is going to be an excellent fight for me - striker against striker. With my experience, I should have the upper hand.
I like to play as a striker or secondary striker.
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.
I played together with Lewandowski for many years, so I know a good striker when I see one.
My preferred position has always been striker and I think I managed to show what I could do.
I've played as a striker all my life. To play on the right or the left is always difficult.
I have always said that a striker scores a goal but not every goal is scored by a striker. A goalkeeper can make a mistake which is a goal, but every goal still goes past him and you have to accept that.
