Goals are always in demand. There will always be a market for a striker who is fast, scores goals regularly and is strong. I've scored more than 100 goals and people know what they are buying.
We lost the World Cup but I won another cup: my life.
Usually, it's the quality of the players which decides the match, not having the coach telling you whether it's the right moment to take on the defender or not.
The political moment is not good and football always brings happiness to the Brazilian people, especially if we succeed in qualifying for the cup,
who always is happy and lively, in addition of having important soccer qualities.
I didn't see any intention to hurt me, ... He was acting more out of desperation because he saw that I was about to score.
I hope I don't suffer another drought as long as that one,
I'm disappointed, but we've still got time to do lots of things,
I left Spain with a slight sprain, the time for recovery was one week and that time has passed.
I hope this is not going to be my last cup, as I expect to be in good conditions in five years. I want to break all possible records and win a fourth cup,
I love to score goals after passing all the defenders as well as the keeper. This is not my speciality, but my habit.
In Latin America, the pace is slower, it is more technical. In Europe, it is faster, but I haven't had any problems adapting to it.
I never thought about draw or lose before each game. I always think about winning the match, whatever the color of my shirt. I play by instinct, and my instinct is to goal. I will not do any other things that not related to it.
I'm going to spare no effort to be ready for that game, ... If I have to spend all night receiving treatment, then I'm prepared to lose my sleep.
