Edinson Cavani spoke exclusively with ESPN Brazil from Manchester about his presence in the English league and his arrival at the Red Devils team.
De Salta was grateful for the words of encouragement and recognition that his teammates and Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had for him. “I said that I am here to do my best with the same responsibility I had to do when I was on the other teams I had to be. I am clear that I have become competitive, give what I can give, not to learn, to do my best, prepare myself, be available every weekend and make my own contribution, and join the team to fight for trophies and cups, ” said the attacker.
When asked if he should adjust his game to get to the demanding English Premier League, he said that while each league has its characteristics, the intensity depends on what you want to put in, 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 preparing to do my best with the way I play football “, he indicated.
In addition, Cavani said that “you cannot think one league is inferior to another” and stressed that the last Champions League vice-champion is French, referring to his former team, PSG. “There are things where football is football to me, no matter where you play it or who against whom, it matters what you do to win. For me, football is pure competition, with different characteristics from all sides, ”added de Salta. Of his time with the French giant, he said that what saved him the most was the affection people showed him over time: “It’s what you keep for the rest of your life.”
Cavani also commented on joining Manchester United after releasing Paris Saint-Germain, and the number of teams in which he sounded like a possible reinforcement. He said that a lot of things were being discussed at the time and that his brother and representative, Walter Guglielmone, “often broke the phone open for people from one club or another to talk, he never closed a door, not because there is always interest. was. go in but to hear “. He noted that “that gave a lot of people the opportunity to start commenting and talking that Cavani was going here or there” and there were many twists and turns in that regard until he chose Manchester’s red team. “It was something we were already talking about. They were already interested, not this time but a while ago and also further back, about five years earlier they were very interested. There was a reason to make such a decision, to say ‘we’re going to have that experience, we’re going to go to this great club’ and the decision was made to come here, ”he said.
In a country as far away as the UK, Cavani also maintains some of the customs he’s walked across Europe, such as wearing his beret, enjoying a partner in the green spaces, and even Uruguayan music. “The roots are never lost. We are all different, but my country is the best thing I have, my country is the best thing I have. There I was born, there I was formed, there I knew the life, the world. They are very strong things, they are priceless. You don’t do it because you want to show, but because you always want to feel in your country, to be with your partner, to wear typical things from your country like a beret. What I am is due to my culture and my country. With pride, the little I can see of my country makes me happy when I wear it, when I drink mate, or when I think it’s my place in the world, ”said the“ Matador.
