Football Or Honeymoon? |
|
It’s four goals in four starts for Jason Scotland at the front end of his Swansea career, a tally that has reduced the pressure on the man who is part of the forward line tasked with replacing Lee Trundle. Scotland arrived down here with a decent reputation and with his strikes against Oldham, Walsall in the League and Carling Cup and yesterday against Doncaster he is living up to the reputation that he will notch twenty plus goals this season. And he has revealed that the chance to play for Swansea meant that he put off his honeymoon after getting married just days before his move to Wales. “The wedding had been planned for a long while, so there wasn’t much we could do about it,” he told the Wales on Sunday/ “We didn’t have much time afterwards and we didn’t have a honeymoon. “But I always wanted to prove myself here so we just accepted it. “I could have opted for an easy life and stayed and not test myself, but I wanted to push on and see how far I could go. “When I moved clubs in Scotland I moved 20 minutes away – now I’ve moved eight hours!” he said. “It was a tough choice to leave, the people were lovely there and a lot of them were asking me why I wanted to move. But I told them I wanted that challenge, I didn’t want to stand still. “People had told me the English leagues were tougher, even though I had played at a really tough level in the SPL. But I wanted the change and to find out for myself. “We’re playing some great football, but we also know we have to be ready to battle “And I am prepared for that. I was always built this way, but I still had to toughen up when I first came over to Britain. “The game in Trinidad was quite slow and the heat was a factor, so it took me two years to get used to the difference. “It was always tough and physical in Scotland and I had to get used to that physical side of things. “But I think I’ve done that. I feel I am now ready to play to my strength and use that to get goals.” What are your thoughts? Share your views on the Message Board |
