ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE

As a No. 9, I have to be there to score goals, but that isn't the only thing. I also participate in the build-up and help my team-mates, but, above all, it's about scoring goals.

I really want to be in the final to play in front of my family and friends, but it's not only that. I came to Arsenal because I want to win trophies. So to play in the final is important.

Arsenal are the club that plays the best football in England, so I really wanted to come here.

Power is the main difference; it's more powerful in England. Referees are less strict than in France, teams like to play low and in counter-attack, and defenders in general are stronger than in France.

To make my entire career at Lyon doesn't bother me as long as they continue to have the development and ambition to have a competitive team, even if we're not certain to win the Champions League.

Of course I played some bad matches.

I would like to reach 100 goals in Ligue 1.

Dortmund is a great club.

When I play, I like to use my pace and to link up with my team-mates.

I want a trophy, and that is why I came to Arsenal.

Every day, I have to work and show the coach I work well and I deserve my place.

Arsenal is a well-established club with excellent staff who make sure everything runs smoothly.

I believe that sometimes, when you start out at 18 years of age on the red carpet, it can make you think, 'This is normal, this is easy.'

When you're a striker, you want to play all the games, and most chances come at the end because defenders are tired.

I've watched quite a few matches to understand English football.

You can't really explain why you get on well with someone. It's instinctive.

Throughout my childhood, and thanks to Arsenal's former striker Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club, so that dream has been fulfilled.

Arsenal are a historic club. Arsene Wenger has been here for such a long time, and there is a real level of stability at the club. He knows what he wants to achieve in the coming years. I liked the way he spoke about football and what he thinks of me.

In England, the fans are more spectators than supporters. There's a better atmosphere in French stadiums.

It's a great happiness and deep pride to equal Andre Guy's record for goals in a season.

If people are good off the pitch, of course on the pitch it will be easier to play.

Things can move so fast that you don't have time to catch your breath or think about the next move.

There are games where the striker will be useful for the team in terms of creating space and being involved in the game, without necessarily scoring, but he'll have played an important role for the team. But, of course, over the course of a season, I have to score goals, as that's what statistics reflect.

I'm happy with Arsenal. I know to be in the first eleven is hard, and it is always like that in a big club, but I must keep fighting.

Every time I take a shot at goal, it's because I believe I can score.
