00:00 I want to go to something. People always talk about my goals.
00:04 I couldn't care less about the goals.
00:07 I was performing for my team and people never talk about my assists.
00:12 That used to piss me off because I wasn't your usual striker.
00:18 I wasn't your usual striker.
00:20 And when people put me in the same bracket as a box player, I said, "Don't do that.
00:25 Do not do that." We don't do the same thing.
00:28 We never used to do the same thing.
00:30 Do not compare me to a guy that used to stand in the box and receive crosses
00:34 and a guy who could take the ball from everywhere and assist and score.
00:37 And Bapé has that style. You have R9 with that style.
00:40 You have players that were stepping out of the box.
00:44 If you compare a box player, I was very different than Alan Smith.
00:49 I was very different than Alan Shearer. I'm very different than Deity.
00:52 I'm very different than Agüero. I'm very different than Ruud van Distelrooy.
