On his family

I have two younger sisters, and during those first four years when I was in Argentina, I wasn't around to see them grow up. It was very hard for all of us because missing out on that period and not seeing them grow up was tough for me.

My maternal grandfather was born in Yorkshire in England but was contracted to work for a company that had a base in Colombia. So they moved across to Santa Martre, and they liked it very much. It was a sunny place with beaches and a seafront, so they never went back to England and preferred to stay in Colombia.

You get injuries, but football is something you have in your blood, in your heart.

I hope to play in Europe one day. It is one of my objectives.

I had the opportunity to play in the Premier League, and I did.

I'm a very technical player, a striker who moves around the field a lot. I'm technical, I score lots of goals, and I like to score as many goals as possible. They are my best qualities. I also header the ball very well.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I know that my career is up for public judgment, but I also know that in football, things change.

Football runs in my blood, and I did really want to play football.

I am fine. I feel really good. I am playing without any sort of fitness problems.

I think it's all about confidence and having a regular run in the team. The rest takes care of itself; a footballer never forgets how to play football, and I'm convinced that game time, matches, was all I needed because, ultimately, no one forgets how to score goals.

It's true that I had two different offers from Chinese football, but I stayed in England in order to give myself the opportunity. To go there would have been the easiest way, because it was a great offer, but I wanted to stay.

I think the best way I can repay the supporters for their kindness towards me, and for all that love, support and appreciation, is to score goals and win trophies for them.

I was always told that the Premier League would suit my playing style, and England has always attracted me. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to come here so much so that I learned the language, so I was preparing myself in some way for a future move to England.

Even I'm a bit surprised with how easily I've adapted to European football.

To win Ligue 1, you have to win each weekend. Every game is important.

It is true that I did not shine as I had wanted in England, but that is part of the past.

I do on the field what I know how to do, the same way and with the same passion as always. I give my best, but I have to take things day by day.

For me, it was a dream to play in the Premier League. I always wanted to be here because this league is very good, it has very good teams, and Manchester United is the best team in England.

Every footballer wants to play. No one is happy when they are not playing.

I would not be worried about the physical aspect of the Premier League. I have scored goals in Argentina, Portugal, and now Spain. I am confident I can adapt my game to any league.

I have watched the Premier League for a long time. There is so much quality, and it is such an exciting league. Of course, it is nice to think I might play in it.

I would like to score a lot of goals, but the most important thing is to help the team.

I have been fortunate enough to play in some big clubs all over the world and in some important games and win trophies.

Whenever I have the opportunity to come on, I try to do my best for the coach, and I try to help the team.

I think, when I score, it's always important, and that gives me confidence.

When I had to go for surgery, all the country sent positive messages. I was very happy with that, and all I want is to give back some of this happiness I received both with the national team and at my club.

I've been trying not to think too much about the rumours of clubs being linked with me.

Referees are human beings, and they make mistakes.

Radamel Falcao quotes on famous players and football clubs

For the last part of this article, let’s take a look at the top quotes by Radamel Falcao about other football stars and teams, which include his comments on Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho.

On Lionel Messi

Was it a game of #UCL or was

Messi

in a Play Station game? Impossible! If he scores 6 goals, can he take home 2 balls?

If he scores, he'll be asked to score two. If he score a free-kick, they'll say the wall wasn't aligned correctly. If Argentina loses, it's Messi's fault. That's the price for being the best in the world.

Messi and

Ronaldo

are certainly the best in the world. They are both unbelievable. I am very happy to be a contemporary of these geniuses.

On Diego Costa and Loic Remy

Diego Costa

and Loic Remy are excellent finishers.

On Jose Mourinho

Mourinho

's a great coach. He is ambitious and a winner.

On Alfredo Morelos

Alfredo Morelos is going to be a star for us. When you look at attitude he has and commitment he shows, he's ready to get to the top. He could be a big player for Colombia for years to come.

On Diego Simeone

I'd already had the opportunity to work with

Simeone

at River Plate and we won the league. When I was told he was about to sign for Atletico, I started to believe and was convinced he was the right person at the right place. He went there with his focused approach and his habit of working hard and always giving his best.

On Manchester United

Manchester United is a great club. I am very happy to be here, and because of this, I am happy to be patient.

Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top.

I will continue to fight to the end at Manchester United.

I think United is the best club for my style of play, and I am sure about my decision.

I hope to stay many years in Manchester United and make history in this club. When I was at Porto and Atletico Madrid, I always wanted to improve to achieve my dream of playing in a team like this.

Manchester United is a very big club, one of the biggest in the world, and I am so happy to wear the jersey.

My family are comfortable. We're enjoying life in Manchester and here at the club. The people have been great with me, with my family. We're happy and very grateful.

On Chelsea

I am very happy to be joining Chelsea.

Chelsea are champions of Europe, and there is not much more to say than that. Even after winning the Champions League, they still go and sign players of the highest quality. Their ambition is clear.

Chelsea was the most difficult time. In the middle of the season, I already knew that I wouldn't play again, because the club had decided I wouldn't play. It was a frustrating decision because I felt rather good, and I thought that I could contribute something.

On River Plate

I'm privileged, and I thank God for the opportunity to play for River.

I have scored many goals with my head, ever since my time with River Plate in Argentina and then after at Porto and Atletico Madrid.

River is a fantastic club that goes beyond just football. They offer so many sports and activities within the club. There are schools for young players, and its DNA can be identified by every other club in Argentina.

It's in the DNA of River fans to prefer attractive and technical football with plenty of possession. I noticed that quickly, and I was made aware just how important that was to River fans, and so I tried to adapt with my characteristics and ability.

On Atletico Madrid

The Liga and Atletico Madrid, who have the best fans in Spain in my opinion, have always been part of my dreams, but it was also a big challenge. We played in the Europa League that season, and one of our main goals was lifting the trophy. As we advanced through the various rounds, this dream was getting closer and closer.

On Monaco

I'm happy to have returned to Monaco.

I am very happy at Monaco, and my wife is happy to live here.

I want to win with Monaco. I want to show that I'm 100 percent.

If Monaco retain the ambition of winning trophies in France and Europe - and that's why I came here - I will be delighted to stay.
