You always have to know that you are going to leave everything on the pitch, every drop of sweat, to help the team win the game.

You just have to be prepared because in the Premier League, you are not always going to have more than once chance to score. When it comes your way, you have to be ready to take that chance. If you're not calm, you know it might not come again.

I always wanted to win. Everyone has a bit of that in them, but I have even more of a will to win. Sometimes I might go overboard, whereas there are others who, yes, they want to win, but if they don't, it's no big deal for them.

If I go on to the pitch, do things well and the fans love me and my team-mates, too, we take on that energy which can change a game.

Check my records: you'll find I've never caused a bad injury to a player.

I consider myself a player who fights and gives everything on the pitch. Those who know me and appreciate those values understand what I say.

The bottom line is that sometimes the little things I do on the pitch provoke exaggerated reactions.

Don't put wings on me; I am no angel.

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

If I change in any way, I'm not going to be the same player.

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.

Do I enjoy the aggression of English football? No. I like to play football. I like to score goals. I like to do things well.

If you do not have the team behind you, then you can't do things on your own. It all depends on the team.

Every striker has their way of playing and their strengths and a different team behind them. That is very important.

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.

I have to be extra careful, but I'm never going to change the way I play.

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

I don't pick tournaments to score or rivals or other teams to score against. I'm a striker: every game I play, I want to score.

Wembley is a ground with great history. It's hosted games and players of great prestige. It's always important playing on great stages like this.

I think that football has always had a passionate, aggressive side, with players giving their all. People have to get used to this.

Some people seem to think football is like theatre and that everyone has to play the good guy. But I think that you transform when you cross the white line: you're not the same person as off it.

If you ask a million players who they would want as manager, they will come back with a top three list of Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, or Diego Simeone.

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.

I don't have a problem with any defenders. I've always played against great defenders.

I joined a club like Chelsea to win titles.

As we say, finals are not to play them, they are to win them.

I don't like losing. I don't like to be in a losing position, and I show this a lot. I demonstrate on the pitch.

We always have to show our character on the pitch, and I show my feelings.

If you work hard and there's not a good atmosphere, the work doesn't mean a thing.

You can run 20km, 80, 100, and if there's no spirit between the players, the coaches, as colleagues, it won't come out as well.

Work goes well if you give your best with the guy beside you.

It's important to keep winning games.

I never complained about my teammates, and I have to thank them because they always supported me and never allowed me to give up.

I do my best; I go onto the pitch and I play to the best of my ability.

I try to reciprocate and to give back to the fans with my performances, like a big 'thank you' for the love they show me.

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

I want to be on the pitch, and I want to be cool.

Sometimes I even tell my relatives and my friends that I get a lot of love from the fans, and I'm not sure if it's deserved.

I don't need to hit people in order to play good football. I'm not a boxer after all.

People ended up not thinking much of me. They saw me as a bit of a troublemaker. It's important to change people's impressions.

I always commit myself to the teams I play for and always want to win. I hate losing. It's just that, at times, I go about things the wrong way, and that created problems.

I grew up thinking a bit of pushing and shoving was completely normal. Then I suddenly learned that if you kick another player, you get in trouble. Nobody had ever reprimanded me for that before.

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

I've done everything to come back to Atletico, but I wouldn't fight the same to return. When Atletico didn't wait for me, I had to go to Conte with the tail between my legs.

I'm just like that: I just always try to win, to get better, do my best, and it always annoys me to lose.

I think anyone in life, everyone in the world, no matter what work they do, they should think of wanting to get on, to win, improve.

I don't think I am the type of person who thinks, 'I dunno. Things are getting on top of me.' It's not that I think I'm any different to most people. I always make a big effort, to fight with all my strength, make the best of a situation, and always want to win.

The truth is I'm fairly relaxed.

You know when you have a manager that is always successful, is always in the title race and always playing in the Champions League.

The best way to attack is to defend well.
