Asenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vito-Mannone-c36276 has gone on to admit that he would like to be the first choice keeper at the Emirates as he feels he could do justice to the number one spot.
The Gunners first choice and second choice keeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukasz-Fabianski-c22910 are both currently injured, which has seen Mannone go on and represent the team in their previous outings.
Despite him not playing football as regularly as the other two keepers, he has managed to keep a clean sheet in each of his appearances, while managing to pull off a number of fine saves along the way.
However, with Szczesny now set to return to the team, Arsene Wenger will have a tough call over picking who he wants to start in goal.
At the moment it isn’t confirmed as to who the manager will be starting, but Mannone feels that if he is given the opportunity to represent the team more frequently, he would do justice to the team.
“I just roll up my sleeves and try to work because I know I can do well,” he told the club’s official website.
“When you are number one, you feel important and like the happiest man in the world, that sort of feeling gives me the chance to go onto the pitch with confidence.”
“I would like to be involved more and more and establish myself.”
At the same time, the young shot stopper has admitted that he is looking to compete with the other two keepers, in order to claim a spot in the starting eleven.
Mannone also believes that once the three keepers start competing amongst each other, they would be able to get the best out of themselves, which would help them and the team out in the future.
“It is a good fight between the keepers because we know the level is quite high and you need to keep working and improve yourself to get the first spot,” he added.
It is easy to see where the keeper is coming from and there isn’t anything wrong with his logic.
However, it is now a wait to see just how the keepers are rotated at the Emirates by the manager.
