I feel the manager [Sven-Goran Eriksson] knows what I'm capable of. I don't think I need to prove anything. He knows that if he needs me, I'm there and I'll come in and do a good job.
"Darius Martin Clarke Vassell" is an English Association football/footballer who plays as a forward (association football)/striker. He previously played for Aston Villa F.C./Aston Villa, Manchester City F.C./Manchester City, MKE Ankaragücü/Ankaragücü and Leicester City F.C/Leicester City.
Vassell began his career at his home town club Aston Villa in the Premier League, being developed by their academy and making his first team debut in 1998. He was sold for £2m in 2005 to another Premier League club, Manchester City, staying for four seasons before being released in 2009, moving abroad to Turkey for a season to play for the Süper Lig team Ankaragücü. In October 2010 he was brought back to England by his former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson to play for the Football League Championship/Championship side Leicester City.
Under Eriksson with England, Vassell scored six goals from 22 international Cap (sport)#Association football/caps awarded between 2002 and 2004, including appearances at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan, and UEFA Euro 2004 in Portugal.
More Darius Vassell on Wikipedia.But my main priority is here [at Manchester City]. I know the England thing is great and everyone likes to talk about it, but my main priority is establishing myself at this club. A lot of people have questioned my consistency and that is something I want to address. This is a fresh start for me. Being around fresh players and enjoying my football again will hopefully be a good thing.
The move has been brilliant for me and given my career a lift. I'm really pleased with the move and the partnership with Andy is going well. Long may that continue.
