Pedro Obiang has told the squad it’s time to show serious character and admits it hasn’t always been there this season
Speaking to the Guardian, the hugely impressive midfielder has also spoken of his frustration last season and talk of an Italian return.
He said: “I was frustrated last year because I would have liked to have played more games. In terms of going back to Italy there was only a 1% chance of that happening.
“I wouldn’t say going back to Italy would be a step backwards but I am here to give everything and am not looking to move.
“You can’t get exactly what you hope for all the time. What I did in training was I showed my best and tried to convince the coach he had to find room for me.”
Our dreadful start forced Slaven Bilic to introduce Obiang thus improving the midfield balance and giving the defence more protection.
It’s not been the cure all though and Obiang says: ” We need to show our character, which has been lacking at times this season,”.
I read the article and thought yes Pedro spot on, although your character has been there each time you pulled the shirt on COYI !!!
