The Dutch goalscorers of Arsenal Robin Van Persie has revealed that he had suffered serious doubts before the season when Arsene Wenger has shared to him that he intends to use him as a center striker.
The 28 year old captain of the "ball" is about to score 40 goals in the current campaign, making his claims extremely curious. "I never thought that would eventually be on the center forward position" said Van Persie. "Actually I never played on this position - I did it once or twice as a teenager, but was nothing special. We started trying seriously when Adebayor left. "
"The manager didn't buy a new striker because he was convinced that I will handle it. But I was not so sure. I just wasn't played like this before" said the leader of the" Arsenal ".
"Then, in pre-season, we played against Inter. I scored a nice goal, all presented on level and after the match Wenger said: "See? This will happen. This was the first step" said Van Persie.
