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

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

I am somebody who... - I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I need that freedom, that ability to make mistakes out there. Because there's a fine line between making a mistake or being brilliant.

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.

Its not like you make a decision and everything inside you is 100 percent happy.

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.

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.
