The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues this summer, as he faced difficulty in getting a starting role at Football Club Barcelona.
New Schalke signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204 from Barcelona in the transfer window, after spending a disappointing spell where he was mostly used as a substitute or was out
of the squad due to injury. Therefore, he decided not to hamper his progress at the La Liga side by staying.
The 26-year-old held constructive talks with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 head coach Tito Vilanova about his future ahead of the proposed move, and suggests that he is sure that he made a good career choice by moving to Schalke for the remainder
of the season. In the Bundesliga, he will get more playing time which will help him get better as a player.
Afellay confirmed at his official press conference as the Miners that he had limited opportunities with the Spanish giants as the sole reason to come to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. The attacker was confided in by his manager that it will be really
hard for the player to get a starting berth and will need to be patient at Barca in the coming season.
As a result, the tactician thought along with the midfielder that the best move for the player will be to play for another club.
"I have not played much at Barcelona and this season I was told that I was going to have to wait to play. It was agreed with the coach [Vilanova] that a transfer would be the best option," the Dutch attacker was quoted as saying
in an interview.
"There was no point staying stagnant [at Barcelona]. When you recover from an injury you must play again as soon as possible, and that's what I'll do now at Schalke. I have good feelings," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 academy player finally
concluded.
The Dutch star suffered a long-term injury last term and stressed on the significance to be able to recover and get back with the first team imminently.
