The Paris Saint-Germain star has barely featured for the France national team in recent times and the player has expressed his disappointment at not being able to get more game-time
The 25-year-old winger, who joined PSG from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 last summer, has been an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s side and has been a regular starter at domestic level.
Jeremy Menez enjoyed a terrific campaign with Ligue 1 runners up in 2011/2012 season. The winger managed to make 42 club appearances last season scoring 9 goals in the process. The France international also provided 13 assists for his teammates.
However, the case at international arena is quite different for the player, where the winger has failed to establish himself as a first-team player.
Jeremy Menez has expressed his displeasure over his bit-part role with the national team and has stated that he is not accustomed to the bench role. The Frenchman has vowed to earn a place in Laurent Blanc’s starting line-up.
"This year, I've not been accustomed to staying on the bench, so I've had to prepare differently"
While talking to reporters, the former Roma player vowed to be hundred percent fit in case his services are required. The France international stated that whenever the coach would want him to play, he will play without any hesitation.
Being a substitute does not please Jeremy Menez, but the player has accepted that if his services are required as a substitute, he is more than willing to do that for his country.
"If I have to play, I'll be there 100%, and if we return, I'll be there as well. When you do not have the rhythm to be a substitute, it is not always obvious. We must prepare for that, and it's not always easy."
While answering a question regarding his low-profile personality, Menez claimed that staying out of spot-light has helped him become a better footballer.
"I think people often view me on my performances. They think that I am arrogant and lazy, but I am quite the opposite. I have always had a somewhat closed, a little shy personality. And this is what allowed me to succeed in the world of football, especially
when I went to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 is expecting a French victory in that match.
