I train all week just to play for 90 minutes. I love playing games, and so during those 90 minutes, it's always 100 per cent.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I can accept defeat, but I love to win and be competitive. It is my job, and I love it.
Quote by -Diego Costa
On the pitch, I will always be like that. That's my character, and I will always compete and compete - always. I'm a different guy off the pitch, as you can see, but on the pitch, I will not change.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I look back, and I know what I left behind in Lagarto when I pursued my own dream.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I am glad I have given my family the life I wanted for them. That is my responsibility.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Obviously, I have to enjoy all I have. People depend on you, and now I can look back at everything I've gone through to get here with a different perspective.
Quote by -Diego Costa
If you pinpointed someone before the kick-off, probably you would become embroiled in a fight, and you would be distracted from what really matters and not play well.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I don't go into a game with specific targets. I don't pinpoint an opposing player before a match, trying to exploit a kind of weakness.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I can only watch calmly if the match is decided or my team are dominating. But I get passionate very easily.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Put me there on the pitch if you want to see how much it means to me or how hungry I am to win more medals.
Quote by -Diego Costa
It is not easy for me to pick out one goal or match as my favourite, but if I had to choose one Wembley memory, it would probably be my free-kick against Portsmouth in 2010.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Afterwards, when the match is over, I have my family and my friends. I have fun like a normal person.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I will not change unless my manager or the people from my club or my supporters tell me.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Many times players have done stuff to me, like kick me. But I'm not a cry baby.
Quote by -Diego Costa
You know when you have a manager that is always successful, is always in the title race and always playing in the Champions League.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I don't think I am the type of person who thinks, 'I dunno. Things are getting on top of me.' It's not that I think I'm any different to most people. I always make a big effort, to fight with all my strength, make the best of a situation, and always want to win.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I think anyone in life, everyone in the world, no matter what work they do, they should think of wanting to get on, to win, improve.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I'm just like that: I just always try to win, to get better, do my best, and it always annoys me to lose.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I've done everything to come back to Atletico, but I wouldn't fight the same to return. When Atletico didn't wait for me, I had to go to Conte with the tail between my legs.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Atletico know I have a special feeling for the team. I lived the best moment of my career there.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I grew up thinking a bit of pushing and shoving was completely normal. Then I suddenly learned that if you kick another player, you get in trouble. Nobody had ever reprimanded me for that before.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I always commit myself to the teams I play for and always want to win. I hate losing. It's just that, at times, I go about things the wrong way, and that created problems.
Quote by -Diego Costa
People ended up not thinking much of me. They saw me as a bit of a troublemaker. It's important to change people's impressions.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I don't need to hit people in order to play good football. I'm not a boxer after all.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Sometimes I even tell my relatives and my friends that I get a lot of love from the fans, and I'm not sure if it's deserved.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I thought it was very important to keep growing with Atletico and to play there for many years.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I try to reciprocate and to give back to the fans with my performances, like a big 'thank you' for the love they show me.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I never complained about my teammates, and I have to thank them because they always supported me and never allowed me to give up.
Quote by -Diego Costa
You can run 20km, 80, 100, and if there's no spirit between the players, the coaches, as colleagues, it won't come out as well.
Quote by -Diego Costa
If you work hard and there's not a good atmosphere, the work doesn't mean a thing.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I don't like losing. I don't like to be in a losing position, and I show this a lot. I demonstrate on the pitch.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I don't have a problem with any defenders. I've always played against great defenders.
Quote by -Diego Costa
On Conte's first day, I told him that I wanted to join Atletico, and he was upset with me and didn't even look at me. Luckily, I started to score goals.
Quote by -Diego Costa
If you ask a million players who they would want as manager, they will come back with a top three list of Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, or Diego Simeone.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Some people seem to think football is like theatre and that everyone has to play the good guy. But I think that you transform when you cross the white line: you're not the same person as off it.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I think that football has always had a passionate, aggressive side, with players giving their all. People have to get used to this.
