I was a street footballer.
When you have the ball, you are free.
I want to play Champions League every year; I want to be at a big club and win trophies. That's my target.
It's difficult in the Premier League.
I always had this talent - it is something you get when you are born, so I have just worked, and it has gone well for me.
I had confidence in my quality, so I was always positive and had good objectivity.
It is up to me to adapt and to continue to surprise with my positioning, the timing of my runs, the trajectories, when I call for the ball.
To be good is not enough; you also have to make your team win. And, when you are an attacker, that most often happens through a goal or through an assist.
Enjoying myself is something very important for me because that is why I play when all is said and done. And it also allows me to have an engine.
When people mention me and Messi together, it's amazing because, to me, Messi is the best of the best. You can't say anything to him; he's the boss.
Even when I was young, I had a reputation for it. I would play with my friends outside, and I was doing all the things you see now a long time ago. I've always done the flip-flap, even when I was young. Stepovers, dummies - I love to dribble. If you speak with my friends, they will say I'm the same Riyad.
Sometimes you see me on the pitch, and you think I'm playing on the street.
It's better to have a lot of different qualities in the team; it's a good mix.
When there is a Brazilian who is lighting things up, he is at Real Madrid before you know it!
When I was at Le Havre, I was always sure of myself. I knew I'd make it.
