Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke doesn't take his talent for granted.
Benteke celebrate his goals with a trademark pointing towards the sky and the 23-year-old revealed he chooses to react to scoring in that way as a mark of his Christian faith.
"I do the celebration because I believe in God," said Benteke to the Birmingham Mail.
"So when I score the first thing I have to do is say thank-you to him. He has given me the power to score.
"I am a very religious person. I pray before the game and I pray after the game. This is my education from my family.
"I thank him for the good things that he has given me. Before each match I pray to him to make sure that nothing bad happens to all 22 players on the pitch. That is important.
"I ask for him to look after everyone. Before we are footballers, we are men, we are people together.
"We have a good job. Other people wake up at 6am in the morning and go back home at 6pm in the evening. They work really hard. We have to enjoy what we do and give thanks for that.
"I see fans doing the celebrations on Twitter. They send me messages showing themselves in photos. It makes me laugh and makes me smile.
"I really like it. It's good that everyone enjoys it. It's really great."
