Edinson Cavani spoke exclusively with ESPN Brazil in Manchester about his presence in the English league and about his arrival to the Red Devils team.
Salta was grateful for the words of encouragement and recognition that his colleagues and Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had for him. “I said this I’m here to give my best with the same responsibility that I had to do when I was on the other teams that I had to do. I’m clear that I’ve become competitive, give what I can give, not to learn anything, to give everything I can, prepare me, to be available every weekend and to contribute with mine and to accompany the team to fight for trophies and cups “, said the striker.
Asked if he had to adapt his game to reach the demanding English Premier League, he said that although each league has its own characteristics “the intensity depends on what you want to put in it, what you want to give to the way you play” . “I have always lived football the same way, in Italy, France, in my national team and in the Danube. I’m getting ready to do my best with the way I play football. “, indicated the.
In addition, Cavani said that “you can’t think that one league is inferior to another” and stressed that the last vice-champion of the Champions League is French, referring to his former team, PSG. “There are things in which, for me, football is football, no matter where you play it or against whom, it matters what you do to win. For me, football is a pure competition, from all sides, with different characteristics “, added Salta. About the time spent in the French giant, he said that what saved him the most was the affection that people have shown him over time: “it’s what you keep for the rest of your life.”
Cavani also responded about his arrival at Manchester United after leaving Paris Saint-Germain free and about the number of teams he called in as a possible reinforcement. He said that many things were being discussed at the time and that his brother and representative, Walter Guglielmone, “often opened the phone to people from one club or another to talk, never closed any door, not because he there was always an interest in going, but hearing. “He commented that” this allowed many people to start commenting and talking about Cavani going here or there “and that there were many twists in this regard until when he opted for the red team in Manchester. “It was something we were already talking about. They had already been interested, not this time, but recently and also later, about five years before it was There was a reason to make such a decision, to say “we will live that experience, we will go to this great club” and the decision was made to come here, “he said.
In a country as far away as the United Kingdom, Cavani also retains some of the customs he has traveled through Europe, such as wearing a beret, enjoying a partner in green spaces and even Uruguayan music. “Roots are never lost. We are all different, but my country is the greatest thing I have, my land is the most beautiful thing I have. There I was born, there I was formed, there I knew life, the world. There are very strong things, it is priceless. You don’t do it because you want to look, but because you want to always feel in your country, to be with your partner, to wear typical things from your country like a beret. What I am is because of my culture and my land. With pride, the little I see about my country already makes me happy when I have it, when I drink a colleague or when I think it is my place in the world “, commented the Matador.
