Athlete

I've become accustomed to playing against four defenders throughout my career, but in Italy, I have to play against five.

When I went to Spain, it was a risk because I was really young. But I quickly learned the game, and I grew as a result.

The Pichichi is a dream for me and also a goal, like any striker, but only if accompanied by the league title.

The defenders in Italy are stronger, and that makes me better. Serie A is played in a different way to other leagues.

When I am not playing, I suffer.

My philosophy for football is to be happy with what you're doing. When they say that you're one of the strongest in the world, you need to carry on in the same way as you do when they say that you're dead.

Cristiano is an unbalancing player. His confidence allows him to pull off the plays he does. He naturally always looks for the best solution.

I like to play as a striker.

It is illogical to play Wednesday, Saturday, and Tuesday.

Football is constant pressure, from day to day. You need to know how to live with that.

It would be great to be the Pichichi.

I always believe that it's beautiful to win important matches, but it's also very important simply to reach those moments. I truly believe that.

If you play with the big time players, you will also improve.

I'm a competitive player, a fighter, and I always try to improve what I think needs improving.

Ronaldinho takes great free kicks and has scored a lot of nice goals from free play.

I am not disturbed by criticism or insults. It's all about having faith in yourself.

Bread and football - that's how I grew up.

For someone like me, who loves this sport, Naples is a wonderful place. This is an incredible city where football comes first, followed by everything else. The fans live for football.

To play for the national team is the most beautiful thing there is.

I can only spend words of thanks to the Juventus fans. I had two beautiful years there, and I can only thank them.
