When I decide to score, I score. I know I am strong, but I believe it is not enough yet. I can kick fine, dribble very well, but I still have to improve.

I don't celebrate because I'm only doing my job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?

Mancini is lucky. He has an owner [Sheikh Mansour] who speaks little and asks only: "What do you need?"

When I score I don't celebrate, its my job, does a postman celebrate when he delivers post?

I'm a naturalized Italian, but I'm from Ghana. I was abandoned by my parents and adopted by two angels. I suffer with racism everyday. I'm the first black to wear the jersey of Italy. I'm not angry, but my life experiencies make me act differently from other people. Then, try to learn more before you criticize me.

I can win the Ballon d'Or, but only if Messi's level drops a bit. It will be very complicated to do so if he keeps up his current form. I really believe I can win the award, but there's not much I can do if Messi maintains this level.

When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.
