ball easy finding front fun goal john moving side work worry
Having Claudio and John makes it easy on me because they do all the work. I don't have to worry about getting the ball and moving it from side to side or finding people. They do that. I just get in front of the goal and try to score, so it's going to be fun for me.

I love winning and any team I'm on, I expect to win. I don't think we could have said that 10 years ago.
