Trabzonspor’s English player John Lundstram said that he is a leading player.
In his interview with Trabzonspor Magazine, Lundstram stated that he always gives his all and said, “Not only in the matches, but even in each training session. I like to think that I am one of the hardest working players a coach can work with. I am a leader and I can lead.” he said.
Emphasizing that he does not think he is a bad player, the English player said, “I played in England and Scotland, and now I have come a long way with experience. I think experience brings leadership with it. Of course, the main thing is that you have to go out and show people what they say about you on the field.” he said.
Lundstram explained that he had a good relationship with the fans at Glasgow Rangers and said:
“I think it’s my duty to build that relationship on the pitch. I have to perform well, if I do that I will contribute to the team’s performance and that will help the team win games. To further develop that relationship I have to always play well and of course show what I can do. The relationship with the Rangers fans has been great. But This was a relationship that developed over the years and it was more about good progress. This is what I aim to do at Trabzonspor. I hope I can repay the faith of our enthusiastic fans here and move forward because I need them throughout the process. will be.”
“There is great pressure in big clubs”
Underlining that when he came to Trabzonspor, he knew that the team played good football and was composed of very technical and good players, Lundstram said, “I think the league is a very good league and many teams play good football. There are high-level players for Trabzonspor. I see these high-level players in training. But what we need to do is to go on the field on match day and show it more. There is a lot of pressure in big clubs and everything depends on the big players performing well.” made his assessment.
Emphasizing that the only person who does not need to be better is Lionel Messi, Lundstram said:
“Of course, I always need to be better. Learning never ends. Of course, there are things I need to be better at, such as receiving the ball in narrow areas. I don’t have fast feet. Maybe meeting the ball between the lines. I may need to improve in these. Maybe I should improve in scoring more goals.” There were times in my career when I scored goals regularly. It would be an improvement to be able to maintain that, but that was when I played more forward. Now I see myself as a number 6. After all, the most important thing for me is to work hard. ‘If talent doesn’t work hard enough, hard work will defeat talent.’ I think this is a great virtue I have in my life.”
