Now, Shkodran Mustafi has been one of the most criticized player from this season but earlier today he did insist he did not deserve all of jiggles he has been getting.
“It is not getting to me because our job as defenders is to try not to concede goals, but if you make 90 per cent of your job and in the 10 per cent the opponent scores a goal, people forget about the 90 per cent,” he said.
“If at the end of the season you have made 70 points, it is for a reason. If you go into the game without the defence and only with attacking players I am not sure you are going to make 70 points.
“If a striker misses a goal or a penalty or whatever, you get a new opportunity five or 10 minutes later. For us defenders, if you make one mistake and they score, even if in five minutes you save something on the line, people still won’t talk about it. You get to live with it because it is part of our job.”
Musti you score a goal like this against Chelsea and we can talk about lifetime contract 😛
