EMI Marcondes described his spell outside of the first team picture at Cherries as “important as starting games” after again scoring for the development squad this week. Taking to social media to share his views on playing with Bruce Suraci’s development squad,
Emi Marcondes said: “Part of a footballer’s career is going through periods when you don’t play as much as you’d like to. Few people will tell you this, but these times are as common and important as starting games and scoring goals, because you can learn a lot about yourself, your team and the game. Patience is the key, you’ve heard it before. But it’s essential to make these moments as productive and positive as possible. You need to think of time as your ally and have a growth mindset. Soon you will find the opportunities in a situation that at first seemed frustrating and unfavourable.”
