RIO DE JANEIRO, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Former Bayern Munich and Hamburg striker Paolo Guerrero has vowed 1 not to let his renowned 2 fiery 3 temperament 4 overshadow his performances for new club Corinthians.
Guerrero gave his first official press conference to Brazil's media on Monday following a 3.5 million-euro transfer from Hamburg.
During his 10-year career in Germany, Guerrero gained a reputation for his erratic 5 behavior as much as his goal-scoring ability.
The 28-year-old received an eight-game suspension in the Bundesliga last season after a reckless tackle on Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.
In 2010 he was fined 100,000 British pounds for throwing a bottle at a fan.
But the Peru international says his wild days are behind him and now wants to focus on success with the reigning 6 Copa Libertadores champion.
"I'm a temperamental player and I have learnt from those experiences," Guerrero said.
"Now I feel like I am more mature and settled but I will always have that desire to win."Guerrero cited Ronaldo as his idol 7 and said it was an honor to play at the Brazilian legend's former club.
He said he was already looking forward to the prospect 8 of playing against European champion Chelsea in December's FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
"It would be fantastic to play against Chelsea," he said. "What I want most is to start playing as soon as possible and to score as many goals as I can."
