Some people say a striker does not do much, but if they play as a striker, they’ll know.

"The word "superstar" is an ilusion"

Ronnie is the best player in the world at the moment, right-handed, left-handed, one-legged, one-armed, whatever you want!

To be a superstar, you must do something exceptional. Not just survive the Dip, but use the Dip as an opportunity to create something so extraordinary that people can’t help but talk about it, recommend it, and, yes, choose it.

Yeah, they probably think I was, you know, I'm a bit underrated. But it's not something that really got to me. I mean, I was just there doing my work, you know, enjoying playing football and enjoying being at the club. But when it comes down to the national team, I was always someone who is more, you can look at me as someone who was underrated.

In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender.

The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.

I believe that my role as a striker is crucial in contributing to the team’s success. Scoring goals not only boost our chances of winning matches but also motivates and energizes the entire team.

The key ingredient to stardom is the team.

He is the complete striker that I often compare to – since I was myself a striker – to a phenomenon that I played against many times myself. ​Marco van Basten. At my time, Marco van Basten was the most complete forward in the world, in the late 80s and early 90s. And I think Robert Lewandowski put his stamp on the last decade like nobody else.

People make me a superstar and treat me that way. But I am not a superstar. I just regard myself as an ordinary God-fearing person.

If a Latin player is sick, they said it is all in their head. I'm sick of these people who make these statements. They call me 'Jake.' It is Roberto ... Roberto Walker Clemente.

The superstar effect, in other words, has a broader application today than Rosen could have predicted thirty years ago. An increasing number of individuals in our economy are now competing with the rock stars of their sectors.

The only people who criticize me are writers. You say, maybe I no team player. Did a player ever come to you and say I no team player? Who say that? The writers, right. I win four batting championships. Why I no team player? I kill myself in the outfield. You say, I no team player. You never see me loaf on the field. I break my back. Even Harry Walker tell me: "Roberto, why you want to break your back? Look at the other fellows. Take it easy." Super stars, my foot. They say Mickey Mantle is a super star. He's limping. They say poor Mickey. I play with four stitches in my foot and nobody knows about it. [...] The fans are good to me. Only the writers are bad."
