I want to do well for myself and my sponsors... but I feel no pressure, because I don't play for the money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.
I'm just a ballplayer with one ambition, and that is to give all I've got to help my ball club win. I've never played any other way.
I want to win. I don't want to spend the rest of my career on a last-place team. That's not the kind of player I feel like I am.
The only pressure I feel is how I can contribute to help my team win the match. Of course, there is always the pressure to score, but then doesn't it eventually help your team win? Frankly, I don't let these things affect me.
If you know your game, you can handle pressure; you can handle any kind of situation, back yourself, and play your own game and get success.
I have a very high expectation for everything I do. And when I go out and compete, I expect myself to make every play.
I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.
You have to go out and find a way to compete every day. I know what I can do and what I can offer the team.
There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.
I'm always a competitor. I'm not there just to have a good time. I want to play well and perform well.
