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.
You never know what emotions will emerge. They can come on suddenly, when you least expect them.
For me, the defender I respect the most is Giorgio Chiellini. He's one of the best defenders in the world. I really like the way he plays football on the pitch, the way he defends. He lives for the game. He transmits a sense of tranquillity to his team-mates. I have always admired his way to play.
I am an athlete for Christ. That's why I play for Him, to give Him glory, to thank Him for giving me the ability to play football.
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 am a hard worker who looks to give everything.
When I fish, there are a lot of images that come to my mind of when I was a child. I did not have things I have now, so to go fishing now is completely different. I am very grateful for all that I have acquired in life.
Football puts everything at your fingertips. And I was raised in a way that focused everything on looking after your family. Faith really helped me realise that the temptations that you have on hand will give you joy, enjoyment, whatever, but only for a short while. And after that, it is all gloom.
I read the Bible every day, study it, and share with my wife the blessings of faith.
Fishing gives me peace, tranquillity. And also, as a forward player, it helps me with my eyes.
When I was a little boy, there were a lot of children with physical problems in my hometown, and my parents used to work with them, and I learned a lot about that. Since I was a child, helping out, doing what I can, was something that fulfilled me.
There is nothing nicer than playing in a World Cup against France, England, or Spain. There is nothing nicer than instead of playing a friendly, you can play a game where, if you win, you can make history.
When we are little, we always dream, and the first teams that come into your head are those on the world stage for their marketing, their image, their publicity. That makes you dream about how nice it would be to play for Real Madrid, to play for Barcelona.
Football is my passion, and who knows where I will play in the future - you cannot foresee that.
Scoring a goal feels a bit like a liberating act. It is a mix of sensations that only strikers can feel in their own guts. We work for that, to score. It is like a commitment, an obligation we take with ourselves.
I have great respect for the Premier League, for the teams, and the great players there.
It's an honour for me to be one of PSG's forwards.
PSG have personality.
Football is a team sport, and each person plays a role - this is what counts.
I am aware that I am not extraordinarily gifted in terms of technique.
