Quotes from Javier Hernandez

We are a big family; we are all very close, and we always want to talk about what is going on with each other.

It was the case that I wanted to go. Not because I don't like West Ham, but because I need to have minutes on the pitch.

I'm very lucky to go back to my old club, my old home, my old house. To start my new chapter in this second part of my life in the Premier League is going to be something happy. I have very good memories from those four years in Manchester.

Why can't we be Greece in the Euros? Why can't we be Leicester in the Premier League? Tell me why not.

At times, my confidence is rock bottom, although I try for it to be sky high, thanks to the people that are always there with me and support me.

I always want my old clubs to do well. But I have only one love in my life in football - my home club Chivas, in Guadalajara. The other clubs are my girlfriends.

I felt the same when I went to Manchester United, to Madrid, to Leverkusen, and now at West Ham. The only pressure I have is my pressure. That's it.

Words can come and go. Your acts are going to speak for themselves.

If you want to win the World Cup, you need to play against the best national teams in the world.

What I miss most about Mexico isn't the food or the customs it's my family and the way we'd all sit around chatting together.

Moving to a new country is always difficult, but the fact my dad and my sister came to live with me was a huge help. That made things easier.

On crosses, sometimes I make my move one or two seconds before the ball is coming because I'm trying to guess that the ball is coming there. It's intuition. So I run. Sometimes the ball comes...sometimes not. But that intuition is working.

That's soccer. There are good games and others that aren't so much.

I'm a person who cannot be doing nothing. I have a deficit. In Mexico, we say 'hiperactivo' - hyperactive. I am hyperactive!

I'm never going to be in a comfort zone. I always want to be a better player, person. I want to help my team get the goals that we are aiming for.

How does it feel? Really, I don't know because I never try to feel more or less than any player in Leverkusen or Mexico. I don't feel like I'm more famous than other players; I'm just one more footballer who wants to achieve their dreams and to try to help their team as much as they can to do that.

At the end, what do you prefer? To play beautifully and stay in the same place, the round of 16, or play ugly and reach a semifinal?

If you're inside the box and a cross is coming, sometimes you need, as we say in Spanish, to smell the intuition, to smell where the cross is going.

You play this sport in the mind, not only on the field.
