PTV - Iran's Andranik Teimourian says he has
no fear of sitting on the bench and he will continue practice with his
fellow Bolton teammates.
"I have talked with Sammy Lee (Bolton Wanderers manager) three days ago. He
assured me that he believes in me. He said 'trust in me'. Lee said he can
not send me in for certain reasons," the 24-year old midfielder told Iranian
news agency ISNA.
He, known also in his home country as Ando, was dropped to the bench in his
side's all UEFA matches. Teimourian was given a chance to play one out of
two matches in the UK Premier League.
"But this does not mean I have to lose my motivation since this happened for
club captain Kevin Nolan and player-coach Gary Speed in their match against
Chelsea. They were not even listed on the bench," Ando said.
The talented player further noted that he has told teammates and coaches
that he is unwilling to go on loan to other teams.
"I have to say that I will not go anywhere if my deal is extended, I will
stay. Otherwise, I will play by the end of the 2007-08 season and then
choose my new team. "
