Strikers are egotists, selfish. We have to be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For the strikers, we have more freedom, and even when we lose the ball, if we press together, we can get it back, and it is good system for Chelsea.
I am the sort of player that likes to create goals. I think a lot of my team-mates know me as a player who is not selfish.
To be a striker you need to be in good shape.
I'm a forward, but I can't be the only forward at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several strikers.
My back to the goal, physically fighting off defenders, trying to bang my goals in, every week I have to do the business for this club. That's the life of a striker.
Every player wants to be as complete as possible and goals for a central midfielder are very important.
Obviously, being a forward, I would like to score more goals. But while the team does well, there is no problem.
In the end, you need to be a little masochistic to be a goalkeeper. A masochist and egocentric as well.
You can't ask every player to do the same thing. That's why we have amazing midfielders, defenders, forwards and keepers. You can't ask them to be of the same mold.
I'm not a person or a selfish player, but we have to move the ball more, and we have to look further the team game, because we have enough talent to use different players.
