“I think one of the things he said was I was too much of a nice player and that you have to show that aggressiveness as you’ re getting older as a striker.”
“It’s not always about being nice on the pitch. You need that character, you need that presence to frighten defenders and I think that’ s something I’ m learning and getting better at.”
“It’s always tough, moving and going to experience a different country and different culture.”
“I felt the sooner I settled in, the better and started learning different types of football and different styles. I’ ve gone to spread my wings and hopefully, I can keep up the level of performance I need to stay in the team.”
“Of course (the World Cup) was in the back of my mind, but really I just wanted to play football. For me, it’ s still a young career and I just felt I needed to go out and play some games to improve and hit the highest levels and hopefully, I can keep striving on.”
