I thought it was very important to keep growing with Atletico and to play there for many years.

A season is very long, and there will be periods where you'll be very good and moments where you won't be as good.

Goals are what count for me. It's not about a battle with defenders. Fighting hard, giving everything and working hard on the field you have to combine with the goals you score. It doesn't matter if defenders want to battle with me or not; I will just be trying to do my job as well as I possibly can.

Atletico know I have a special feeling for the team. I lived the best moment of my career there.

I don't usually get nervous on the pitch because playing football is what I've done all my life.

As far as I can judge, English football is not for everybody. You need to have the lungs for it, you need to have the strength for it.

What I do is play football. What I do doesn't change who I am and who God sees me as.

Really, I learned a long time ago that in the National Football League, paper doesn't mean anything. Football teams are created on the football field.
