Nothing's better than having 
an opponent you want to beat.
لا يوجد شعور أفضل من هزيمة الخصم
 .الذي تسعى خلفه
Nichts ist besser, als ’nen Gegner zu haben,
den man zu Mus verarbeiten will.
No hay nada mejor que tener
un rival al que abatir.
No hay nada mejor que tener
un rival al que batir.
C’est le pied d’avoir quelqu’un
qu’on veut dézinguer.
Non c'è niente di meglio che avere 
un avversario che si vuole battere.
Nada melhor que ter um
adversário que queira vencer.
Офигенно, когда 
есть кто-то, кого хочешь одолеть.
