My individual role is to take the innings as deep as I can and perform in a way that benefits the team most.
When you sit out, then you realize that, when you get the opportunity, how important it is to use that opportunity, not only as a player individually but also for the team.
I think my ability coming into the NBA is going to make it that much easier for me with the space and the different type of players here. I think just by the spacing alone is going to make my game that much easier and that much better for my teammates.
I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
I know and the manager knows my best position is centre-half but if I can learn two other positions if needed then it's great for me as a player and my development.
If a goalkeeper can save you 15-20 points a season, his value is high. It's like a striker scoring 20 goals a season.
I definitely need to take a look at several positions. I'm going to be playing a little everywhere. As much as I know at every position is better off for me and is better off for the team.
I am a professional footballer, and it's a game where the coach decides where you can be most beneficial for the team. As long as I am attacking, I am happy! I know what Jose Mourinho decides will be best for me personally and for the team.
But the tricks I use are ones that will hopefully benefit the team.
In the end, not only the team, but the players themselves benefit from having to prove their worth time and time again, too.
