“Bayern is one of the best teams in the world - on a par with Real Madrid and Barcelona. A move to Barca or Real wouldn't have been a step up for me.”
“I don't have a strict diet where I have to eat 100g of this, 200g of that, but before, I had a problem with sweet things, so I cut them out completely.”
“When I was a young player, I never dreamed of scoring five goals in a game - and in nine minutes is something else. And when it happened, it was incredible that there could ever be anything like that in the history of the game. It took me a couple of days to realise what I'd done.”
“I motivate myself by the desire to win more trophies.”
“Cows' milk and soya milk isn't good for me. Almond milk and rice milk is OK. I don't really drink alcohol, either. Maybe wine but only sometimes.”
“As a striker, you are playing against big defenders. They try to throw you around. I try to play in behind them, and I need power. I know that I have to go to the gym and train. I train all the time.”
“One day, I would like to play in Premier League. It would be a great experience.”
“When I was a kid, I did many sports. Judo, like my dad, but also volleyball, handball, and gymnastics. We never played much football.”
“I don't read articles about myself. I try to distance myself from it. Reading about yourself is nice, but in the long run, it doesn't help. Concentration has to be in the right place.”
“I cannot say who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. Because they are different players. Both are superstars.”
“I want to be a better player, and there is no other way of showing it other than on the pitch. It is not a question of which team I play for.”
“Contracts are not a holy relic in football. You can like this attitude or not, but it's the truth. Sometimes you have to think about if it is meaningful to try out a new impulse.”
