I go out and do the best I can in each game, and I don't think about the fouls other players will commit or whether I might be injured. It only does you harm to worry about those things.

It takes sacrifice as well as talent.

I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

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.

You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough

I still have a lot of room for improvement. For example, I want to shoot equally well with both feet.

I never had any problems with my height. I was always the smallest kid, at school and in my teams.
