There are small things that every coach brings when they go to a new team. Like, you need to press this way or the other way.

A player becomes great only when he realises he has great team-mates.

You can find yourself doubting yourself. But that's when you need to keep faith and realise everything is going to be okay. You work hard in training and keep doing the things you're good at.

You need to be a professional - how you train, how you eat, how you sleep, where you go outside of football.

I am a perfectionist, and I set high standards.

I am a striker, and people expect strikers to score goals. But I don't see myself as a striker.

I wanted to win trophies and play for the biggest club, and the biggest club in England is Manchester United.

I don't smile all the time, but I smile inside.

Ronaldo is brilliant, Messi more my kind of player. He sees the game so clearly. He can score, create; he's the complete player - the best ever, probably.

The small details are important if you want to be a good player.

Sometimes, against the underdog, you can lose because they want it more. It happens to every team.

I credit my success to my mother. Her prayers and support are everything to me. I know all she does for me, and I know nothing I do can ever pay back the amount of support she has given me.

I always believe that there are players that are hard to replace.

Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.

Strikers are streaky creatures.

At some point, I would like to coach Argentina, but I have to improve as a coach. I would like to do it in the final stretch of my career.

I will never coach Real Madrid.

I have to continue to be very demanding of myself in order to evolve.

Football is about balance.

Diego Costa always gives us physical and moral strength. He is a very important player for the character he transmits to the team, and his potential as a football player.

The hardest thing in life is reinventing yourself and staying at the top of your game, whilst the hardest thing in football is finding that club you want to stay at.

Sometimes, there isn't respect for our ways, but you can't change people.

Each person can think what they want.

I am very respectful and always have been.
