“Sometimes I go home, put the game on, and think, 'How can I miss that?' It affects you; it also affects you to know your career also depends on the opinion of journalists, fans, directors, and sometimes they're not really qualified to judge.”
“It is always a good feeling to score the first goal in a new stadium.”
“Sometimes football is not just.”
“I want to score more than 20. It's my job. But it is not an obsession for me ahead of winning titles for the team.”
“Clearly, any player would want to go to Real Madrid, but I think if there wouldn't be all the space that one needs there, then it wouldn't be the best move.”
“I will always be grateful to Madrid. I never said a bad word about anybody there. Everyone there, even the president, treated me really well always.”
“I really enjoy London.”
“You should never have regrets in life. All the steps that I have taken in my career have served for something, and I have learned from them.”
“I had a period where everything... if it's raining, I'm angry because it's raining. If I miss, it's because the pitch is too wet. It was only excuses. It was not good.”
“Someday, I'll write a book about what I've been through.”
“I've learnt more in two years at Juventus than in my entire life.”
“The important thing is the team.”
“In Spain, you get seven clear chances a game to receive the ball and shoot. In Italy, you get very few clear balls, and you have to fight everyone to score; that makes you improve and develop.”
“Sometimes you have to mature.”
“I don't have to prove anything to Zidane.”
“There's no way to stop Messi. The only way is for him not to have a good day, but that's difficult because most of the times he has good days.”
“My wife would like to live in Spain; I'd like to live in Italy.”
“The idea of going to the psychologist, for anyone who has any problem, is associated with something negative. I think everyone sees it that way when it's really a very important thing.”
“I will continue going to the psychologist. It helps me to manage the pressure and emotions.”
“At Real Madrid, I did heading drills with Cristiano Ronaldo. You see him go up for headers, that spring and power - he is a real beast. At Juventus, I saw Fernando Llorente, how he finds space and directs his headers.”
