The Swansea City\u00a0striker grabbed the equaliser in last weekend’s pulsating draw at the Liberty and that has led to renewed calls for him to start at Bristol City tomorrow.<\/p>\n
“When I play with confidence I think I will score,” said Pintado in the Evening Post. “I don’t remember my last goal (before Cardiff) but it was a long time ago.<\/p>\n
“I feel okay, but scoring goals for strikers is important for your confidence.<\/p>\n
“Against Cardiff I had the celebration planned. My friend from Granada has a little bit of hair on the front of his head and he asked me to rub my head if I scored.<\/p>\n
“He travelled over to watch the Cardiff game, but it was a surprise for me. I didn’t know they were coming here.<\/p>\n
“For the next goal? I don’t know. I haven’t decided yet.<\/p>\n
“I think I am ready for the British game but it has been difficult for my body a little bit. That frustrates me.<\/p>\n
“For me it is harder because here we play twice a week. In Spain I only used to play once a week.<\/p>\n
“I like it because I love playing more than one game a week – I want to play more games.<\/p>\n
“But that means it is harder for my body.<\/p>\n
“I was frustrated with my injuries at the start because I never had them before.<\/p>\n
“For my mind it was a little bit difficult. Roberto, for me, knows best.<\/p>\n
“He looks at me in training and knows how my body is.<\/p>\n
“When I play I think of my opportunity and I need to take them game by game because we have other strikers here.<\/p>\n
“Yes, I know who he (Trundle) is,” said Pintado. “I watched one game here against Blackpool.<\/p>\n
“When I arrived I thought it was impossible – nine goals in one game. That is crazy.<\/p>\n
“There were plenty of chances for both teams and my wife was very happy because she liked the game.<\/p>\n
“But I knew one day I would like to play in that type of game.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know all the Bristol players because all the games and teams here are new for me.<\/p>\n
“Maybe I will start, I don’t know. It is not for me to decide.<\/p>\n
“When I go into a game I give 100 per cent if I am on the bench or in the starting XI.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
