A season is very long, and there will be periods where you'll be very good and moments where you won't be as good.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Every striker has their way of playing and their strengths and a different team behind them. That is very important.
Quote by -Diego Costa
If you do not have the team behind you, then you can't do things on your own. It all depends on the team.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Do I enjoy the aggression of English football? No. I like to play football. I like to score goals. I like to do things well.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Goals are what count for me. It's not about a battle with defenders. Fighting hard, giving everything and working hard on the field you have to combine with the goals you score. It doesn't matter if defenders want to battle with me or not; I will just be trying to do my job as well as I possibly can.
Quote by -Diego Costa
The bottom line is that sometimes the little things I do on the pitch provoke exaggerated reactions.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I consider myself a player who fights and gives everything on the pitch. Those who know me and appreciate those values understand what I say.
Quote by -Diego Costa
If I go on to the pitch, do things well and the fans love me and my team-mates, too, we take on that energy which can change a game.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I always wanted to win. Everyone has a bit of that in them, but I have even more of a will to win. Sometimes I might go overboard, whereas there are others who, yes, they want to win, but if they don't, it's no big deal for them.
Quote by -Diego Costa
You just have to be prepared because in the Premier League, you are not always going to have more than once chance to score. When it comes your way, you have to be ready to take that chance. If you're not calm, you know it might not come again.
Quote by -Diego Costa
You always have to know that you are going to leave everything on the pitch, every drop of sweat, to help the team win the game.
Quote by -Diego Costa
When a game comes around, that's the time to be serious. During the week, the training sessions are serious, but away from there, you have to relax and switch off.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I think it's really important for managers to be liked by his players because ultimately, on the pitch, those players will give everything for their manager.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Always, when things don't go the way that everyone expects, people - the supporters as well - always look for someone to blame. In some cases, they blame the players.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I'd rather have someone who tells me straight up what happens rather than sweet things that I want to hear.
Quote by -Diego Costa
There are managers who always say what people want to hear. I think that's not good.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I have to be scoring goals and playing well to get in the team because, if not, others who are in better form will play.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I have a go at defenders, and they have a go at me. We argue... Whatever happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I'm no angel. You can see that. But every time I play, I will play the same way because that's the way I am.
Quote by -Diego Costa
In Brazil, if you have a son, the first thing you give him is a football. That's the first gift - so my dad was no different.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Scoring goals is scoring goals. From a striker's point of view, the aim is the same.
Quote by -Diego Costa
When we go to the pitch, that's all we want to do - we want to win - and when the game finishes, if you win, you go home happy.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I haven't done great things for Spain - I can't lie - but when I play well, they should say so. They criticise me for my character, but I also have quality.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I want to win and always have done since I was small. I don't know if it's in my blood or just my personality.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I am Brazilian, and that is not going to change, but I want to win the World Cup with Spain.
Quote by -Diego Costa
In England, the referees don't call many fouls, as opposed to Spanish football. Consequently, you must be really strong all through the 90 minutes.
Quote by -Diego Costa
I started playing football on the streets; I grew up playing football on the streets with my friends, and that's why I was brought up the way I was. That's the school I had - the street football.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Football is my life, and I cannot imagine myself doing anything other than playing this game.
Quote by -Diego Costa
Jose Mourinho has been really clear about what he expects from me, saying he wants me working hard rather than just scoring. Hard work is what he values.
