When you play against dirty players or very tough players, it's easy to escape because you know what they're going to do. But when the player is tough but intelligent, it's much more difficult.

I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.

To be a striker you need to be in good shape.

I want to do my best to make the people happy. I play with my heart for the sport.

When I was playing, they said soccer was a man's world and women should remain on the sidelines, all I can say is I'm glad I never had to go up against Mia Hamm
