It feels good to be considered an important player, says Sporting Lisbon's Ricky van Wolfswinkel
Sporting Lisbon’s Ricky van Wolfswinkel claims that being considered an important player for the club has boosted his confidence and has helped him score goals. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 International has been one of the most prolific players in the Primeira Liga
and attributes this to being the central figure at Estadio Jose Alvalade.
Wanted by the likes of Manchester United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 after signing with Sporting in the summer.
Although not labeled as one of the best forwards in his homeland, he has changed that notion in his new surroundings and gathered the attention of Europe’s elite.
His proficiency in front of goal has been the mainstay of his game with the Lions and has so far netted a hugely impressive tally of 12 goals in 16 appearances.
Also a feature for the Dutch team, Van Wolfswinkel has also been monitored by scouts from the National set-up and if he maintains his current form is likely to be a part of the Oranje squad for next year’s European championships.
Despite becoming one of the most coveted assets on the continent, the 22-year-old remains humble and claims that his goal scoring has been due to the importance he has been given at the helm.
Speaking to reporters, the front-man said that being considered one of the crucial players for Sporting has given him a lot of confidence and the result of that can be seen on the pitch.
"It feels good to be considered an important player. As I said, it gives me confidence and it results in goals. And I want to give back more to Sporting.”
He also added that sometimes despite not playing to best of his abilities, coach Domingos Paciência demonstrated undying trust in him and let him continue on the pitch.
"I am talking with my good sense. When sometimes I am not playing well, he stills let me on the field," Ricky van Wolfswinkel was quoted as saying.
With a reputation for being one of the game’s best talents, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131’s career has been on an upward bending curve and with the transfer window looming large expect Sporting to reject several bids for his services.
