“Leadership is something one should born with. It’s a personality thing and there are young leaders as well. But for me, Cesc is a captain and not a leader. We lack in this aspect and we need to work on our leadership if we want to move forward. There should
be a leader in a team which I don’t see. We are a team collectively at this point in time but a leader is always vital for a team.” Denilson also expressed his opinion on goalkeeping situation at camp - he appraised the form of Polish goal - keeper, Wojciech
Tomasz Szczesny, who has taken the job after the injury of 25 years old Polish goal - keeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Almunia-c23386 also played as a skipper in the

experience. ‘We lack a more experienced person’ Denilson replied on his own statement. He further added,
“We had http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gilberto-Silva-c14889 for a long time and that’s what I meant we lack experienced leadership. I am a very shy boy and I don’t like falling into controversies. We have to stay focused for our title race and I have talked to skipper to sort out any issue.
I was mis - quoted and that’s not going to take our focus away from victory.”
