That’s how I feel. It’s clear that someone wants to use me to take all the responsibility. They made a lot of promises to me this summer and now I’m on the bench for three games in a row. I said several times that I had a good relationship with the coach and now I don’t have one anymore. “I don’t know why, but it seems like someone doesn’t want me at the club,” he said.

I have been at this club for many years and have scored more than anyone of this generation. I don’t think anyone has scored more goals and given more assists than me over this period. “I am alone in this situation,” he continued.
“Can I give you an example. A while ago, Harry Kane hadn’t scored in ten consecutive games and the press were saying, ‘Oh, Harry will score for sure.’ “When I don’t score, everyone asks me to go to the bench.”
