The Croatian international claims that he does not seek extra attention or special treatment after making the move to the Bundesliga club on a free transfer.
The former Werder Bremen, Nantes and Bolton Wanderers forward made a transfer to the German League with FC Mainz signing a one-year deal last week. The attacker joined his new side after returning to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 on Tuesday and left
English Premier League side Bolton after they were relegated from the league last season.
The Hamburg born player’s switch has excited the club fans beyond belief and a lot is being expected from the frontman, but Klasnic believes that the team should be in the limelight and not him alone. The 32-year-old underwent
a kidney transplant in 2007 and made a sensational return to football in ten months time.
The hit-man said that he is just one of the players at the club and that they all want the club to improve in the league standings over the course of the season. He claimed that he does not want to be the star player in the side
and more attention should be paid on the club affairs.
"I am not the messiah. I am just one of 25 players in a team who want to be successful,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
"I don't want to be the special person here who everybody focuses on," he added.
The striker has an excellent record playing from Bremen and the supporters would love him to recapture his old form. He scored 49 times in the Bundesliga and a 50th goal is on the horizon in the near future.
"I just want to play football and enjoy myself," the 2004 Bundesliga champion stated.
"And if possible, I want to celebrate as many wins as possible with Mainz so that we can all enjoy ourselves that is it," he finally concluded.
The Croatian said that he is just here to have fun playing the game he loves and would relish the chance to enjoy victories for his new club with the die-hard fans.
