There is nothing nicer than playing in a World Cup against France, England, or Spain. There is nothing nicer than instead of playing a friendly, you can play a game where, if you win, you can make history.

I feel good next to Zlatan. He is a player of great class. He scares opponents because he can score at any moment.

I don't fear hostile atmospheres. In fact, that added pressure serves as an incentive for me to give my very best performance on the pitch.

The Palermo supporters are very passionate, but the Azzurri fans are unique.

At Napoli, the greatest player of all time played here - Diego Armando Maradona. The fans expect the best, and quality players.

The Napoli fans want players who put their heart and soul into the match and who fight for every possession.

It's important for a striker to play in a position which is natural for him.

I will not speak about my private life, but I am a professional, and I will always give my best.

I think Falcao is one of the best strikers because of the way he plays, more than simply being a player with a lot of class, to define a game, a style of play. He's proven that he's a player who works hard; he's very strong both tactically and technically.

I give the maximum. If things go well, I'm happy for myself, for the team, for the club, for the fans.

I try to give everything for my team.

I would like to see Premier League teams play in Ligue 1 so we could see how good they are.

The best teams in Europe play in the Champions League, and when you face them, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I want to go back to Uruguay and win the Libertadores.

If I have team-mates who can win individual accolades, then I will do everything to help them.

I am a footballing worker - I am not a star.

When you reach the moment to score, it is like liberating different emotions such as joy, happiness, and also satisfaction.

Scoring a goal feels a bit like a liberating act. It is a mix of sensations that only strikers can feel in their own guts. We work for that, to score. It is like a commitment, an obligation we take with ourselves.

My style of game is a bit of a mix between a modern player and a traditional striker, more aggressive. The real, ultimate finisher.

When I was a little boy, there were a lot of children with physical problems in my hometown, and my parents used to work with them, and I learned a lot about that. Since I was a child, helping out, doing what I can, was something that fulfilled me.

In football, you don't know what can happen.

When I fish, there are a lot of images that come to my mind of when I was a child. I did not have things I have now, so to go fishing now is completely different. I am very grateful for all that I have acquired in life.

Fishing gives me peace, tranquillity. And also, as a forward player, it helps me with my eyes.

I focus a lot more on the collective than the individual.
