ANTOINE GRIEZMANN

I'm very happy at Atletico. I'm very proud to play for these fans, with these players, and with this coach. I want to try and pay back the confidence and care that the people at Atletico have always shown me.

Winning titles, that's what I'm looking for.

I always play with long sleeves because Beckham always did it. He is my idol. He had a lot of class both on the pitch and outside. Nobody had his right foot. I would love to speak with him, but in Spanish because I don't speak English.

I always ask Paul Pogba about Manchester United. I think they are a huge club with a really good infrastructure.

With hard work and effort, you can achieve anything.

I like PSG, but not Ligue 1.

Speed isn't everything, but he'd be a great striker at Atletico. Usain Bolt would be perfect for our game. Me behind and him up front. The best!

The Ballon d'Or is one of my objectives, but it will be complicated so long as Ronaldo and Messi are around.

Ronaldo used to be my neighbour, and he passed my house every day. We always greeted each other.

Even before the season starts, the fans look at the dates for the Madrid derbies. They all want to be there; they're big games.

I work every day to improve and reach my top.

I want to try and pay back the confidence and care that the people at Atletico have always shown me.

I do not feel like I am on par with Messi and Ronaldo yet. I need to win trophies to match them. I try to help my team and country as good as possible to do just that.

I'm lucky my parents raised me well.

I want titles: it's what I want and what I lack. I give everything for it.

At Atletico, I've improved at the highest level, and in the Champions League, I've turned a corner.

I prefer games with many goals.

I'm always proud to be popular with the fans. I try to smile and do my best. If they like it, it's even better.

I've never liked losing, ever since I was a boy in Macon, my hometown. I couldn't watch other teams lifting trophies.

The United States is where I want to finish. I love the States. I want to have a subscription to NBA and go with my children to every game. I can already see myself there. I do not yet know the city, but why not play for Beckham's franchise in Miami? Playing under Beckham would be the best.

We used to have championships in the streets with my friends, and whoever scored a goal was the happiest boy in the world. Now, every time that I score, I go back to being a child: the happiness of scoring a goal is unexplainable.

Scoring goals is nice, but I'm nowhere near Platini. I hope I can get closer to him.

When I'm close to the penalty area, that's where I feel more comfortable.

El Cholo is a great coach: he asks a lot of his players and demands a lot of intensity. If your guard is down even a bit in training, Cholo tells you put extra effort in quickly.

I always had a frisson when I heard the Champions League music. To play in that competition, to score a goal in it, is something special for me.
