Janssen said:
“I had a conversation with Chris and he told me I could take it. So I have to thank him for that. Erik (Lamela) asked me and I said I was going to take it. It was normal – you discuss it with the players and I thought it was my chance so I took it.
It is nice to get the first goal but it is not the most important thing. I have enough confidence and, if I hadn’t scored (on Wednesday), for me I was sure I would score in the next game.
“You know that when you come to England there are a lot of players who like to play a more physical game. I like that also so it is not a problem – I just have to adapt.”
A point worth making here, is that Vinny failed to score in his first seven games wearing an Alkmaar shirt.
And he was a success at AZ.
Prior to that, Janssen scored 32 goals in 74 games for Almere City.
The danger of course is that Soldado (among many) also ‘had a career’ before joining us. That said, Bobby had to cope with some deeply unpleasant personal issues during his stay in London.
It’s Poch’s job to make Vinny work.
Crack on, then.
The fans think he’ll come good…
