There was a bit of frustration today because everyone was saying, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!” – I could really hear it. c It annoyed me and I said, ‘Wait a minute’ – I’ve never been so far in my career that young players tell me if I can make a shot or not. So I just took it! All I can say is that I scored goals like that in training.”
