I'm a very technical player, a striker who moves around the field a lot. I'm technical, I score lots of goals, and I like to score as many goals as possible. They are my best qualities. I also header the ball very well.
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.
I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.
To become a striker, you need dedication, focus, and professionalism. When they pass you the ball inside the area, the first thing you think of is to score. To find the best way to finish.
I'm an out-and-out striker. It's my job to hold the ball up, to get in the box and to score goals. And, yes, I keep count.
Wazza, when he plays behind the striker, he is very dangerous because he has more touches of the ball, and Wazza can create the goal as well and can score.
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.
I've always been a pretty good ball-striker, I've relied on my ball-striking in my whole career, my athletic ability. But the short game and putting has kind of held me back in majors.
Tevez is an extraordinary striker. Not only does he score goals, but he also helps his teammates and the midfield, too.
The thing I expect from myself, when I play, is to score, in every game. If I don't, then it happens. But when you start a game, if you are a striker, you need to score.
I feel more comfortable with the ball in my hands, playing the point guard. But I like playing the 2, too. I think I bring tough defense and the ability to score and also get my teammates the ball to score.
I understand my game better and what I do well, what I do is shoot the ball and finds ways to score and that was the feedback from the coaches to me - remember who you are and let the ball fly.
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.
Ronaldo was my hero. I loved watching players like Zidane, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, but Ronaldo was the best striker I've ever seen. He was so fast he could score from nothing and could shoot the ball better than anyone I've ever seen.
Defense, in the game, is something that I just really enjoy. Some people enjoy assisting the ball. Some people like to score, score, score, but to me the first thing that comes up is defense.
Of course a striker wants to score as much as possible. It's nice scoring goals. Goals are like an addiction: when you score, you want to keep doing more and more.
