Ryan Camenzuli eyes consistent performances
by Ayrton Galea - 27th September 2014
Ryan Camenzuli's wonderful strike set the ball rolling for Birkirkara FC to win 2-0 over Qormi FC in the last match. A few hours before they will be involved in the fifth match of the BOV Premier League against Mosta FC, we talked with the determined left-back.
As the final ten minutes of the match approached, Birkirkara were heading for a goal-less draw but seven minutes from time, Ryan hit a thunderous strike from distance to put them ahead before substitute Rafael Ledesma sealed the issue with the second goal in the added time of the second half.
In a three versus two situation in the dying moments, few thought that Ryan would be trying his luck with a long-distance shot. However, Ryan said �I didn't think of anything else but to shoot the ball. I was in a good position and thought of trying my luck. Luckily for us, it ended at the back of the net.�
It was yet another frustrating match as Qormi concentrated on defending, instead of trying to create something. Ryan said �We gave a good performance but we struggled in the final third of the pitch to have shots on goal. It was a very difficult match as they defended in numbers and almost closed all spaces.�
It was another intense week for the squad before going to today's match against Mosta FC, and Ryan is confident following a very good week. �We prepared very well for this match. Everyone is ready and concentrated for this match. Yes, I believe that we can take full points from this match. When we're at our best, we're capable to take the three points against anyone.�
In the early stages of the league campaign, it is normal that every team feels optimistic and Ryan is no exception. He said �I'm aiming to win my first-eleven place for this season and to have consistent performances. I want to win all possible honours and I will do my best to help the team reaching all objectives. We have a very strong squad and we can make it happen.�
Finally, Ryan concluded by appealing all the supporters to remain behind the team. �Stay behind us in the good and the bad moments. Keep giving us your support, it means a lot to us!�
