Marko Arnautovic

“I learned to keep my mouth shut, to keep my hands down, just try to put the ball in the net. That is the best answer.”

“Of course, you try to achieve some things to provide for you and your family, and your club can pay you whatever they pay you. But, for me, it's important to be healthy, stay on the pitch and give everything to make performances. This is priority number one for me.”

“It feels special to me to be a West Ham player.”

“Chicharito has had a very good career. He was at Man United and then when he left, he went to Real Madrid and then Leverkusen. He is the perfect striker.”

“A lot of times I have fans asking for pictures and they say 'smile,' but I can't. It's not because I'm a mean person or don't want to be in the picture but I just can't do it when you say 'go, smile.'”

“I had a slow start at West Ham, that's right. I came here and expectations were high because the fans were not quite happy with it. But as football players we have to deal with the pressure.”

“I am not a person who wants to hurt people.”

“I promised my mother that I'd be a famous footballer one day after seeing players such as Croatia's Davor Suker and Serbia's Predrag Mijatovic shine in France.”

“Of course when I was young, I was a little bit crazy.”

“I'm a football player and I have respect for every opponent, every defender and every team, but I'm not afraid of anyone and I'm not afraid to take them on and to make things happen.”

“When I see those kids out there, how they play, how they train, how they look up to us, it makes me feel happy.”

“The problem is that people think once and talk 10 times. It's better to think 10 times before you talk once.”

“In Austria, everything is my fault when we lose. Whatever I do it's not enough.”

“You can't keep losing and say nothing in the dressing room.”

“I try to score in every game and I don't feel sorry for anybody: If we win and I score that's fine, nothing else matters.”

“You don't mess with Pablo Zabaleta. He is not just looking hard, he is hard.”

“People claimed I refused to play. But that is not true and a complete lie.”

“I know how strong I am mentally, how I work on myself.”

“I just want to give advice to everyone to go the right way. It is important for me. The most important thing is to listen to your family.”

“When you get support and you are in the box there is no better feeling than to score goals and make assists.”
