It would be cool to win a World Cup, and I think it would be good for my career as well.
I’m the leading scorer in the cup, and that’s lovely, but don’t forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can’t ask for more.
Since I was fifteen years of age, I have been wanting to go to the football World Cup.

For us, winning the World Cup is not enough. If you come into the squad, you are not just here for the moment, but you’re building that legacy for the next generation.
The hunger doesn’t diminish when you win something. If you have the chance to win the European and Spanish Super Cups and the Club World Cup, that makes you want to win even more.
I understand I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, and I certainly don’t want everyone to look like me. I really only dress for myself.
Our under-19s, under-20s, under-17s teams are all getting into Euro finals, World Cup finals, winning bronze medals. We’re winning bronze medals; it’s about that final step now. We’ve got to punish teams. In every game – youth games, senior games – just to push the game further.
I was diagnosed with the illness right before the 1995 World Cup.
The common vision is winning – and winning a World Cup. We have a three-year plan – win the World Cup, win the Olympics, win the Euros – and the common agreement is you want to create a legacy and win the World Cup; then, everything else falls into place.
