I give no quarter, and I ask for none. Out there, I'm going to fight for my team and do the best I can.
In life, anything can happen, and I do not close the door to anything.
You always have to know that you are going to leave everything on the pitch, every drop of sweat, to help the team win the game.
In England, the referees don't call many fouls, as opposed to Spanish football. Consequently, you must be really strong all through the 90 minutes.
On Conte's first day, I told him that I wanted to join Atletico, and he was upset with me and didn't even look at me. Luckily, I started to score goals.
I train all week just to play for 90 minutes. I love playing games, and so during those 90 minutes, it's always 100 per cent.
I think it's really important for managers to be liked by his players because ultimately, on the pitch, those players will give everything for their manager.
I haven't done great things for Spain - I can't lie - but when I play well, they should say so. They criticise me for my character, but I also have quality.
I have to be extra careful, but I'm never going to change the way I play.
The bottom line is that sometimes the little things I do on the pitch provoke exaggerated reactions.
I always wanted to win. Everyone has a bit of that in them, but I have even more of a will to win. Sometimes I might go overboard, whereas there are others who, yes, they want to win, but if they don't, it's no big deal for them.
If you ask a million players who they would want as manager, they will come back with a top three list of Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, or Diego Simeone.
When a game comes around, that's the time to be serious. During the week, the training sessions are serious, but away from there, you have to relax and switch off.
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. It doesn't matter if defenders want to battle with me or not; I will just be trying to do my job as well as I possibly can.
It is not easy for me to pick out one goal or match as my favourite, but if I had to choose one Wembley memory, it would probably be my free-kick against Portsmouth in 2010.
I have a go at defenders, and they have a go at me. We argue... Whatever happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
Life has many turns.
Chelsea's fans love me a lot, even more than in Atletico. Figure that!
Put me there on the pitch if you want to see how much it means to me or how hungry I am to win more medals.
I want to win and always have done since I was small. I don't know if it's in my blood or just my personality.
