He added, “I do not want to be cocky and say that I am the same as when I was 20. Of course not, but I adapt and I am smart to know my strength, and what I am good at. And I am still playing at a high level. I score goals and I will continue to score goals – if my mind is clear and happy and if the people surrounding me, they are helping me to be a successful player.”
