Tammy Abraham Quotes

A keeper can almost never catch my shots.

Everybody watches free-kicks, and when you watch them, you enjoy them. You have got to learn how to shoot and connect with the ball and how to move your leg. For everybody, it is different, but if you want to score lots of goals, then free kicks is an extra way to do that.

Ronaldinho and David Beckham, they took free kicks and took them very well, so there are some players I always try to follow and to learn important things from so that I am able to score goals.

There are lots of brilliant free kick specialists in the world. But the technique of Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham fascinates me most of all.

I have always been scoring goals, and now the quality of goals I am scoring is better.

Then you figure out that if you don't throw it as hard as you can, you can put it where you want. It's more important where you put it.

I think the thing that has sort of always separated me, even from when I was younger, is my ability to score goals.

I was born to score goals, I feel. How I score them - how I get the ball into the back of the net - might have changed. The actual ability of what I was born to do will never leave me.

I'm at my most comfortable out on the pitch when I'm in front of goal with the ball at my feet. It's about being used to certain situations, and with time, you will find, chances don't get snatched at.

If I take a penalty, I prefer to take it with my right foot.

There is a no more complete striker than Ronaldo. Left foot, right foot, header - he is in perfect control of everything he does.

I never casually shoot shots, ever. I shoot the same way every time. I shoot the same shots that I'd shoot during the game.

Scoring from a metre out is just as beautiful as lobbing a goalkeeper from the halfway line.

I always, always decide where I'm going with the ball before I take a penalty shot, stare at the ball, follow through, and never look at the place that I'm going to shoot.

I'm an efficient striker, but I'm not a joker.

That is what shooting is. There is no secret sauce, man. You've got to find mechanics that you can make the same every time, and you've got to do it over and over again, and you can't just shoot for rhythm. You've got to understand what you are doing. You have to focus on those details every day.

Plan your free-kick and imagine where you need to hit the ball. Hang a T-shirt under the bar and try to hit it with the ball.

I've always been able to get into the box, but in the past, I'd been very rash in my finishing; I wasn't clear with what I was doing in the final third. When it came to shooting, I was very rushed. I wasn't hitting the ball cleanly.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

I'm not massively into the screamers, because I think sometimes fellas just hit it and there's an element of luck over whether it flies into the top corner or over the bar.

I've got power. I don't throw hard every time. I just throw shots.

When I shoot, I'm square with the rim.

For me, if the ball's in the net, it doesn't matter if it's an overhead kick or just a tap-in.

Beckham takes free kicks better than me. It is a joy to watch him take free kicks and he has proved that free kicks are not all about power.

I find it easier to strike the ball with my instep across goal. But I've scored in loads of other ways, too.
