To me, there's no honor to say, 'I'm going to start.' As long as you're getting minutes, you're closing games, that shows more of the value to the team than to say you're a starter.
The more minutes you get on the pitch, the more you can prove yourself.
When I was really rolling in Portland, I was top five in minutes.
I want to play more minutes. I'm a player who doesn't want to stay on the bench or not in the squad.
I'm not worried about getting extra game time, extra minutes, and all this kind of stuff that so many other players will worry about.
In order for a player to score goals, he needs minutes.
I was looking forward to playing soccer, playing more minutes on the pitch, and I didn't have the chance to play more minutes in Manchester. So I came here to the Chicago Fire.
Players that have had less minutes on the pitch compared to the usual starting XI will naturally concede more chances.
