They know the kind of player I am,\u201d said Mensah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI myself don\u2019t feel happy at all when I\u2019m injured because if someone likes you, you should show why. If you don\u2019t play, it\u2019s difficult for people to know why the manager wants you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always confident but sometimes when I come back from injury it can be really difficult,\u201d said Mensah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you continue to keep playing you can see the confidence come back. I have a lot of confidence wherever I go. We all know Sunderland have a good team and the good teams have a good bench as well. Everyone on the bench, everyone who plays, is a good player at Sunderland, so we have to make sure we are determined to win the matches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \n\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div><\/div>\n\n --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ghanasoccernet.com\/2011\/02\/john-mensah-defends-fitness-level\/\" title=\"John Mensah Defends Fitness Level\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Mensah Defends Fitness Level<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Welcome to Ghanasoccernet.com, Ghana&#8217;s most authoritative football news website.
