Any good attacker will always beat a defender who's face-marking you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm an attacker, and forwards always want to score.
Contrary to conventional military and game theory, the most effective offense is sometimes a direct attack against your political opponent's greatest strength - not his weaknesses - to place him immediately on the defensive.
When a defender comes up to tackle me, I want him to feel that ground.
I have always been small, so defenders have always been taller and tougher than me. So that's difficult for me; they foul me sometimes, but there you are - that's what the rules of the game are for.
I'm trying to keep the face of my opponent more or less not damaged but eventually to execute the plan and knock him out.
As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.
In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.
I would always treat my attacking game as the more natural part. With defence, you have to get yourself in positions to understand the game and understand situations and that might not be as natural a thing.
In recent years, Ronaldo is the example: wherever you put him in the attacking three, he's going to make an impact and the opposition are going to fear him. Being a constant threat, that's what I need to develop.
The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play - where you can't see a way through.
