Diego Costa

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 go into a game with specific targets. I don't pinpoint an opposing player before a match, trying to exploit a kind of weakness. ”

It is not easy for me to pick out one goal or match as my favourite, but if I had to choose one Wembley memory, it would probably be my free-kick against Portsmouth in 2010. ”

On Conte's first day, I told him that I wanted to join Atletico, and he was upset with me and didn't even look at me. Luckily, I started to score goals. ”

What worries me is to be in the best physical form to score goals. ”

Scoring goals is scoring goals. From a striker's point of view, the aim is the same. ”

The key for me is to score goals and win trophies. ”
