West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini: I want to play as much as possible

West Ham United midfielder Manuel Lanzini admits he'd like to play as much as possible.

After victory over Aston Villa, Lanzini says he would love to play as many minutes as possible in all competitions, but also knows that collective results are more important than individual achievements.

“I need to be ready to play, to help the team but it's not important, because what is important is to help the team and the team did very well," he told West Ham TV. “It was a hard game against a hard team, so we need to keep going like this, to be strong and we were fantastic.

“The final pass is the quality we need to score our goals. It's important that we create chances for that and we need to work hard to make this final pass. If we can do this, we will do very well.

“Of course, I want to play all the games because I am training for this, to play, to be ready and stay 100 per cent, but I also know the team is playing very well and I need to help the team when I'm coming. It's important to be 100 per cent for the team."
