El Nine Knows His Role

It doesn’t look like Ivan Kaviedes will start tomorrow against Poland, but El Nine says he’s ready if needed.

He also claims that he’s not letting the enormity of the opening match overwhelm him.

Says No. 10:

I don’t really see it as any different than any other game. I have to approach the game as just a normal game or else I will think too much about what is at stake and not about playing my best. Of course I know it is a World Cup match, so I am totally aware of the size of the event, but for me I approach it like any other game and if the coach needs me I will be ready.

Speaking of which…my “El Nine 10″ shirt is supposed to be delivered to my house tomorrow, just before the match starts. Schaweet!
