I don't think about goals and records. Competition is what keeps me playing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you're successful in what you do over a period of time, you'll start approaching records, but that's not what you're playing for. You're playing to challenge and be challenged.
I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.
The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.
Goal scoring is a recurring theme. If you aren't scoring then you aren't going to win games. That's obvious.
For me, sometimes it's more important to perform well in training and know that I am improving rather than scoring in a game. It's doing the hard work, day in, day out.
I think the thing that has sort of always separated me, even from when I was younger, is my ability to score goals.
It's real nice and exciting for me to break the records, but it's more exciting for me to be on a winning team.
No matter what the competition is, I try to find a goal that day and better that goal.
I must continue to work hard in training. I need to think more like a goal scorer; sometimes I get so immersed in the game because I love general play so much.
People know what they're getting with me. It's part and parcel of football that people want to see new faces, but all I can do is play games, score goals and prove I can do it. My record is there for everyone to see.
