`I can't expect to score the number of goals I did last season, you always have times when you don't perform as well as you have done before. It's the way you deal with it that matters.

`I am still doing the same things and working hard on the training ground and, whether you play well in a game of not, that's where you show your true level. I don't feel nervous when I go onto the pitch. I feel good and I enjoy it. As soon as you join the club you know there is a bond, especially among the players who have been together for so many years. It is a major advantage to us and I want to be with them for a long time.
