Argentina have always had the best strikers in the world.
Dave Mackay was one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.
For goal-scorers and centre-forwards, confidence does play a big part.
You need people who score goals. That's how you win games
I look for players who do not just score goals but provide an attacking point, linking with other players and able to see the third man as well. Van Persie is one of the best strikers around at that.
The guys who play in midfield and up front are the ones who decide games.
I think the Brazil system is similar to the one we use at Liverpool, with lots of movement, players open out wide, and quality midfielders who join the attack and score goals.
Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they win the Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season.
The strikers are the ones that normally go for big, big money because they're the ones who decide the games, nine times out of 10.
Atletico players have always been characterised by this kind of player in attack like Fernando Torres, Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa, and Radamel Falcao.
I think there are a lot of great strikers in Europe.
Goal scorers are always sniffing things out, but once they realize 'hey, if I don't have the puck I can't score,' then you have to be a part of the solution so you can get it back so you can score.
