'Perseverance and discipline must be up there': Cavani explains what Sancho must do to maintain form

 said: “I reckon that one of the things that scoring goals can give you, a lot of the time, is the sense of assurance and peace of mind to keep on working and training hard.

“I think, a lot of the time in football, you have to have an extra inner strength about you, which is to be able to keep going when on many occasions we don’t get on the scoresheet.

“And being able to always keep your spirits up and maintain that same dedication and hard work, while keeping your fitness levels high.

“We are all really happy for him scoring his first goal. I think it’s been quite a tough period for him, but football is like that. 

“When you get to a certain level of the game, I think that people are always full of expectation and there’s always a lot of chat and questions being asked about players.

“I think he just needs to keep demonstrating everything he has shown us up to now and keep working calmly and with a clear head; because often, the only thing that can make you enjoy success and able to keep your standards high and the rest of it, is the peace of mind that hard work gives you.

“And the perseverance and discipline to be up there. That’s the only way to keep a cool head when perhaps things aren’t quite going for you. 

“So, here’s hoping he can do even greater things for the club, and I personally wish him every success and hope he can go on to achieve lots more in his career and for Manchester United.”

Cavani > Ronaldo any day of the week. He bleeds Red more than Ronaldo at this stage of their lives. Let's not fool ourselves. Few were happy he came back, I wasn't. I was certain he would disturb our team, I knew younger players would feel overshadowed by his character; Cavani ain't like that. He is a better teacher & poacher than Ronaldo. Ronaldo wants only glory and fame, Cavani is a team player. Yes CR7 has more goals, but in terms of raw no.9 positioning, Cavani is superior in my eyes, without chasing goals as much as CR7 does. The only negative I have to say about  Cavani is that he's injury prone. CR7 is a beast, who doesn't feel a thing. Yet, he stumbles and falls on every occasion and whines like a little bitch for a foul or pen. I despise such characters in football. Bruno is also like that. Maybe it's Portuguese thing? I want to be proud of my team, not being laughed at and known as someone who looks to deceive the referees for an easy goal. Earn it, goddammit.

You all blaming the club but what about Cavani? He expects to just walk into the team with CR7 there. Folks don't be silly, he been injured most of the season so far, he's not being robbed of playing time due to not being selected, he's not playing because he's constantly injured. You guys sleep on football days?
