A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.

As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

I think if you want to become a great football player, professional, you must give all the time one hundred percent, you must work hard - to be lucky is a good thing - but if you work hard and you give everything you will have great success.

I am an honest, God-fearing man who is intensely dedicated to being the best person I can be on and off the football field.

You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.

I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.

I've played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football. Of course it hurts when people question it, but I've come to the end of my career and can look back and say I've achieved everything with every club that I've played for.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

If I believe that I became the best quarterback that I could possibly be, the best football player that I could possibly be... That's how I'm going to measure my career as a success or not.
