To win the league, you don't just need great players, but you need players who have the mentality of title winners.

I just want to play every game, and when I do this, and I'm healthy with no injuries, then the fans can see the way I play.

Jose Mourinho knows how to control to big players in the dressing room, to control egos. He's done it all his life and knows how to work it into the team.

I am not an icon.

I'd like to start my managerial career in England.

It doesn't matter how many goals you score; one goal is enough if you don't let one in your net.

I like to play like that, with beauty and grace.

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.

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

I am the happiest guy around; trust me.

Every human being is different.

Football is a simple game.

For me, if the ball's in the net, it doesn't matter if it's an overhead kick or just a tap-in.

In life, everything is possible. If you believe and have faith in yourself, then it can happen.

I come from a small country, and I always dreamt big.

I am a very proud person.

Young players try and imitate the best players like Ronaldo. They try to imitate the hair, the clothes, the cars, the tricks. I try to tell them how hard Cristiano Ronaldo trained in training and after training. He only wanted to be the best. Everything else came after.

Everything I do, I want it to be perfect. I know it can't be like that every time - but that is my aim.

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

I was the Premier League's top goal scorer in 2010-11 and never wanted to be on the bench.
