I Enjoy The Physical Battles In The EPL – Lammens

Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens has said that he enjoys the physical battle in the EPL. He recently branded the penalty area confrontations during set-pieces as war, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he actually relishes the battles in his box because manning up to physical challenges is one of his strengths as a goalkeeper.

Lammens, however, added that he wouldn’t mind the intervention of new rules to protect goalies in England.

His words, “I think it’s been all season like this.

For me, it’s just the way it is. It is the Premier League.
It’s a bit of war in the 16 [metre penalty area]. “It’s also one of my strengths, so sometimes I like the challenge as well.

I enjoy it as well, getting out of my comfort zone a little bit and dealing with those situations because now, even though there are a lot of bodies next to me, I still come for crosses.

That also gives me a good feeling that I’m doing well and doing those things well.

Of course, there has to be certain rules.

I mean, you can’t get to the point where it’s too much. That’s something that the Premier League has to look towards.

It’s difficult for me to say. Of course, you try to protect a little bit the goalkeeper sometimes and maybe there are some situations where that could have been protected more maybe.

It’s not that only one team does it.

We do it as well sometimes, making it hard for the goalkeeper. We’ve scored lots of goals from it as well, so I understand fully why we do it. You just have to deal with it.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
