On his role in the squad…

I started playing as a striker. But slowly learnt to play on the wing at my previous clubs. I used to play on the right win and learnt how to carry the ball on the flanks. But I started as a striker and am comfortable as a winger too. Just happy to help the team where the coach wants me to play.

On the mood in the camp…

We are not happy with the results recently but are determined to turn things around. We are confident that we are improving and are ready to put in a strong performance on Saturday.
