Physically he\u2019s a machine, he\u2019s a beast, he\u2019s finishing at the highest level and obviously his goalscoring record speaks for itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see myself as a different player. Although I score the same goals, I like to touch the ball a little more, be involved in play a little bit more, but also can play as an out-and-out [No.] 9. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s one to compare ourselves.
