Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is having a career season in Germany right now. The Bayer Leverkusen/Mexico National Team striker has 25 goal in 35 games for Leverkusen.
The Little pea spoke to Bundesliga.com about his transition to Germany and the factors that have made him so successful this year.
bundesliga.com: What about the circumstances? Does playing in the Bundesliga make you happy?
Chicharito: It is everything, of course. But the key thing is that I am playing. I always said the main thing really was just to play, not necessarily scoring goals because thankfully I scored goals when I came off the bench at my other teams. So the main thing now is that I am playing a lot from the start. The coach has made me feel very important, that I am an important player for this team, that I can contribute a lot for my teammates and for this club. So the key thing is that I am playing a lot of football because that is what I love most. I think for most people in the world, if they are doing what they love then you’ll have more good things in life than bad.
I would encourage y'all to read the whole interview. It's not that long and there's some good stuff in there.
It's amazing how much of a difference playing regular minutes makes. You get in a rhythm and just feel the game better. Maybe someone should have told Louis van Gaal that.
