Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez says he is happy sitting on the bench
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has said that he is happy to start the game from the bench against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 and Dimitar Berbatov.
“I have no problems being on the bench. I understand that football is a team sport, not like golf or tennis. So you have to help your team when you play from the beginning but also when you come on from the bench,” the striker said.
The current Premier League holders, Chelsea are due to play Sir Alex Ferguson’s side at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, 1 March, 2011 and the Mexican is very likely to start from the bench in the presence of both Rooney and Berbatov.
The striker could have started against the Blues if Rooney was suspended after he elbowed Wigan Athletic’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-McCarthy-c17702 on Saturday, but he got away with the offence. The Red Devils won that game by a 4-0 margin.
Hernandez scored a couple of goals in that game after getting a place in the starting line-up in place of Premier League’s top scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254.
The 22-year-old http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956 international has gleefully accepted the fact that one has to play for the team and if there is a chance given to him, he will perform at his very best. He further stressed that one can cement his place in the team through his playing
skills.
“We are like pieces of a jigsaw and the boss decides how to use us. If Ferguson picks me for the starting line-up, that would be great but if not, that's fine too,” Hernandez added.
Manchester United are currently leading the Premier League flight with 60 points and 4 points clear of the 2nd placed Arsenal while Chelsea are currently 5th in the League table and are fighting for a place in the next season’s UEFA
Champions League with the 4th placed Tottenham Hotspur.
