I like to play. It doesn't matter if it's just me up front on my own or alongside another striker. I always want to play in the first XI.

I was always fighting with everyone when I was a kid. I was playing with people two or three years older than me, and I had to survive. So I love the physical game, the contact. And I don't know why, but I think football is like this. It is not just touching the ball and stringing together 50 pretty passes consecutively.

I'm a quiet guy, but on the pitch, it's different. You have to do everything you can to win and help your teammates.
