It was a big-time change, coming off the bench.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
The advantage of not starting is you're sitting back, looking at the game and saying, 'OK, we need rebounding,' or 'We need hustle points.' Coming off the bench, that's what you try to do. The disadvantage of it is you gotta catch that flow. You're coming off the bench, you gotta come ready, warmed up already, catch the flow of the game.
I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.
There comes a time when coming off the bench just doesn't cut it anymore, it's not enough time and it's not good enough.
I will do anything a team asks me to do. If it's to come off the bench, I would impact the game by coming off the bench. If I were to start, I would impact the game as a starter. I would impact the game either way.
Dembele is a player who has been playing regularly, from the bench or the start, and he has quality. When he comes off the bench, he can change a game, and that's a quality that is undervalued in football. Not everybody has that quality.
For me, being a starter doesn't matter. Of course, I'd like to be in at the end of the game, to be a big part of the team, and to play as many minutes as I can play. But starting and coming off the bench are two different challenges.
Coming off the bench was an adjustment for me.
I'm not worried about who's starting and who's coming off the bench.
To be honest, I don't really care if I'm starting or coming off the bench.
I try to play with the same confidence whether I'm starting or coming off the bench.
Mentally, starting the game versus coming off the bench, there are different vibes.
Coming off the bench or starting doesn't matter to me one bit. I just want to win.
When you're preparing for a game, you prepare like you're starting. But if you're not, if you're coming off the bench, everybody has a role.
If we're more successful with me coming off the bench and we're winning games, hey, I'll ride with it.
Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.
