In a match against the small “Brighton” on March 4, star and multimillion attack of “Arsenal” was honored for one goal – with the outside of the foot from a few meters Aubameyang put the ball into the goal.
But the main striker of the match was not Aubameyang, but a 34-year-old Englishman with the face of a peasant, who can easily be found in a pub on Friday night resting after a week of work. Glenn Murray – the main scorer of the Premier League newcomer, he has already scored eight times in all tournaments in 2018, and in this draw of the championship of England, he 11 times punched the opponent’s goalkeepers – more than expensive Lakazett and Morata.
“When you score a goal, this is the best feeling in the world. This is a habit. This is dope. Everyone is running around and celebrating in the yard, pretending that they scored a goal in front of thousands of fans. And I do it really. ”
Since the beginning of January only Sergio Aguero and Mo Salah have scored more than Glenn, and this, as you may have guessed, makes him the most productive Englishman-2k18 in the highest division of island football. A rare scorer in the composition of an obvious outsider can achieve double digits in the EPL in less than a season, but Glenn Murray is generally characterized by his perseverance. Different free football predictions write about success of Glenn in next season of English Premier League.
History of Glenn Murray
At the beginning of his career, when the Englishman was trying to sign the first professional contract, he was twice denied by the club of the fourth division of Carlisle United, and he nearly left football, feeling that his dream would not come true. However, he still overcame himself and even tried his hand at the very marginal (at that time) US Professional League with the team of Wilmington Hammerheads. Murray scored three goals behind the ocean, gained valuable experience and returned to England, where he began a long journey to the summit from the third and fourth divisions.
He was finally signed to Carlisle, where he was rented twice, and then finally fired because he was clumsy and cumbersome. “I seriously thought about quitting football because I lost all illusions,” Murray says. – I remember only long trips by car to the stadium and hours of training, which I spent in silence, disappointed and embittered. ”
So what has changed now? Why this classic…hm, an outsider, playing the whole career for clubs like “Carlisle United” and “Rochdale”, already at the end of his career became one of the stars of English football and an applicant for a trip to Russia with the national team of Gareth Southgate?
“I do not think so,” he replies to the question of whether he would have been able to prove himself if he had been ten years younger. – Over the years I have learned to use my qualities better. I do not regret anything. Some coaches like you, some do not – this is life. ”
The philosophical approach to difficulties and success does not allow Murray to be arrogant even after the goals to Liverpool, Arsenal and the Crystal Palace that threw him a few years ago. Glenn has some important qualities: good head play, the choice of position, the ability to navigate in the penalty area. Nothing exclusive, he just does his job and believes that players of this type will always be in demand – they guarantee goals.
