Scoring a goal feels a bit like a liberating act. It is a mix of sensations that only strikers can feel in their own guts. We work for that, to score. It is like a commitment, an obligation we take with ourselves.

When you reach the moment to score, it is like liberating different emotions such as joy, happiness, and also satisfaction.

I am a footballing worker - I am not a star.

If I have team-mates who can win individual accolades, then I will do everything to help them.

I want to go back to Uruguay and win the Libertadores.

The best teams in Europe play in the Champions League, and when you face them, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I would like to see Premier League teams play in Ligue 1 so we could see how good they are.

I try to give everything for my team.

I give the maximum. If things go well, I'm happy for myself, for the team, for the club, for the fans.

I think Falcao is one of the best strikers because of the way he plays, more than simply being a player with a lot of class, to define a game, a style of play. He's proven that he's a player who works hard; he's very strong both tactically and technically.

I will not speak about my private life, but I am a professional, and I will always give my best.

It's important for a striker to play in a position which is natural for him.

The Napoli fans want players who put their heart and soul into the match and who fight for every possession.

At Napoli, the greatest player of all time played here - Diego Armando Maradona. The fans expect the best, and quality players.

The Palermo supporters are very passionate, but the Azzurri fans are unique.

I don't fear hostile atmospheres. In fact, that added pressure serves as an incentive for me to give my very best performance on the pitch.

I feel good next to Zlatan. He is a player of great class. He scares opponents because he can score at any moment.

There is nothing nicer than playing in a World Cup against France, England, or Spain. There is nothing nicer than instead of playing a friendly, you can play a game where, if you win, you can make history.

I always have belief in my country.

I have always had a lot of responsibility, and I have always been committed wherever I have been asked to play.

Every footballer knows the Premier League is a great league. It's very competitive, and it's among the best leagues in the world.

In football, you can't always play well, and sometimes there will be criticism. Sometimes when I get a lot, it helps me. It makes me work even harder to improve and make the critics a little more positive.

Naples has given me so much, and that is why I am so happy here. The warmth and affection of the fans have given me extra confidence. I have a great deal of love for them and for this city.

Nobody has the right to negatively judge a player like Balotelli, as people can make mistakes.

Some players like to go out partying, but I like the quiet life.

A striker scores goals, but the goalkeepers saves them, the defenders close chances down, and all the credit is shared out.

In every team I have played with, and of all of the attackers I have played with, each one was different.

Football is a sport where you never know what is going to happen between one match and the next.

Football is a team sport, and each person plays a role - this is what counts.

I am aware that I am not extraordinarily gifted in terms of technique.

You feel many things during a match. There are things that annoy you. During important games, I do not always touch the ball a lot.

In football, sometimes things happen that are outside of your control, leading the club to make decisions.

To me, every match is important.

I want to win something important with PSG.

When we are little, we always dream, and the first teams that come into your head are those on the world stage for their marketing, their image, their publicity. That makes you dream about how nice it would be to play for Real Madrid, to play for Barcelona.

Coaching changes are a part of football; they arrive ready to meet the goals they have been set, so you respect them and work with them like any other.

It is normal for the press to create certain comparisons, but they are wrong to do that because each player is different, and they have their own ways of dealing with situations.

Everyone is committed to giving their best and to putting in 100 percent in every match to win.

When, as a player, you have dreamed of playing at the highest level, it's normal that it gets your attention to be linked as a target as a possible addition to important clubs in the world.

I've always said that wherever I have played, I've always respected that jersey, and I've always defended it as though I had been a supporter of the team all my life.

The English teams are very difficult to face.

I'll always thank all of the teams I played for from the bottom of my heart because they all helped me grow as a person and a footballer, but the three years I spent in Naples were fantastic. That city gave me everything - my name, maturity, and international recognition. I get very emotional when Naples is mentioned.

There's a lot of politics in football, and sometimes the real values of the sport, those human values, get lost.

You always hope new players complete the team with their qualities.

I always have the hunger to score, to be on the pitch and finish the team's moves.

I want to help my teammates, even if I'm a striker, because it's important to win back possession. But scoring is something incomparable.

It's always good to get back to your teammates.

At the end of the day, it is football, and we are all important on the pitch. We must play as a team and not listen to what others are saying.

I would move back to Italy, but only to Napoli. I speak with respect for all of the clubs I played for, but all of my family and those who know me already know that this is where I left part of my heart.

Some people say I run too much, and by the time I arrive in front of goal, when I have to provide the finish, I am tired. But this is just my way of playing. I need to do this to score goals.
