Coaches give you too much information. Ive been allowed to develop that intuitive ability in my career and lifetime.

You can't ask every player to do the same thing. That's why we have amazing midfielders, defenders, forwards and keepers. You can't ask them to be of the same mold.

To be the key player in creating and scoring goals, that's what I take pride in, and the thing I know how to do best.

Do you have the heart to push yourself? If you don't, find a way to get it because talent will only get you so far. You've got to be hungry. You've got to have heart. That's just reality.

Everybody has down times and stuff that they have to work through. I worked through that stuff because I've always wanted to be playing soccer.

I couldnt change who I am; I couldnt change the kind of player I am.

When it's game situation, when it's game day, game time, when it's World Cup, when it's these tournaments that happen once every so often, I live for that, I live for that challenge.
