When they talk to me, people say, 'I didn't expect you to be how you are.

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.

I love football, football is my life.

If you're not scoring the frustrations build up.

Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.

The important thing is to be there, score when needed. It's better if the goals are beautiful, better still if they are important.

Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.
