Javier Pastore

“It's very hard to be at your highest level throughout the season.”

“That's my aim, to win the champions league, to play a final with Paris Saint-Germain is my focus.”

“If Barca put Messi up for sale, for sure PSG will not think twice about trying to sign him and entering the war for him.”

“I have lots of confidence in myself and my qualities. I do not focus on others.”

“I find it much easier to do a little nutmeg and run round the player than to try and dribble around him with the ball.”

“I am happy with my career.”

“It's not a problem for me to use No. 27. I love that number.”

“I feel much better when I am positioned higher. It's not that I'm bad in midfield, but rather that I would need more time to get used to it.”

“Losing is always tough, and it is even worse when you lose two finals in a row.”

“Money helps a lot, but it doesn't make you happy.”

“Nutmegs, for me, are a beautiful thing to do. They're beautiful to watch. In fact, even when I get nutmegged myself I find that beautiful - and that actually happens quite a lot too!”

“Beckham has an imposing presence.”

“I love Paris and I love PSG.”

“You can never rule anything out.”

“I resemble Ibrahimovic. We're both tall, we both have long hair and we have similar styles of play.”

“I switch off during games. I don't even realise it. For 10 minutes or so, I lose my concentration.”

“I have come to Rome to feel important - no matter the competition.”

“I got the chance to play, bank on myself and be a starter on such an important team as our national team.”

“Everyone could see that my performances significantly progressed when I found myself playing closer to the two strikers. I scored. I delivered assists.”

“If I left Palermo, I would like to remain in Italy.”
