At the end of the meeting, the world champion returned to his brilliance which had sealed the fate of a match that had been undecided for a very long time.
"I'm always focused.
"It's the lot of all great strikers.
And that's the advantage of being an attacker: as long as the referee hasn't whistled, you can settle the situation and have an opportunity to make a difference, he explained.
After on the goal I have the advantage of very quickly entering the surface which means that I am master of my destiny, master of my action.
They are retreating, they don't really know if they should intervene, there has already been a penalty in the match... But I knew what I wanted to do: put myself in the best conditions to shoot or to be able to overflow.
