Mario Melchiot

Do your individual work.

And if you do your individual work, your confidence starts boosting.

And then when you come on in the game, if you're coming in the game, you want to make the difference.

Strikers are built on that.

You understand?

The greed of scoring will always be their hunt.

I mean, I don't want to talk because I'm not a striker, but I clearly played with enough, and they were not happy if they scored one time.

So they started getting angry because they wanted two.

In that sense, what I'm saying for him, the focus really would be is just in the time when you don't play.

I say it to everybody that, you know, regardless if you play in England, it doesn't matter where you play.

If you don't play, work so hard on yourself that when you play, you are ready to show the difference.

Because if you don't do anything and you just do what the group does, believe me, when you get your chance, you're not going to be sharp enough to take it.

We had the smallest guy, you know, in the team was maybe the biggest character was Dennis Weiss.

Now, if you would do something like that, Dennis was like, he was way shorter than me.

But if you would do something like that, yeah, he will come and talk to you if it needed to be.

Because, okay, let's say if Dennis had to talk to Desailly.

Okay, Desailly, similar situation, you understand, he went through because he won the World Cup, he won the World Cup as well.

So you go and talk to him, you just say sometimes like, okay, as a captain, you will be like, hey, come on, guys, you know, you cannot do certain things like that.

The only thing what I, in this situation, what I don't want to happen to him is that his game is being played with passion.

And I understand the passion.
