Diary of Gabriel Obertan

Monday 24th September 2012
Late getting to the training ground today. I was stuck on the inside lane of the dual carriageway. Could have just sped up and passed traffic but I didn’t feel safe doing so.

Went to an all you can eat buffet afterwards. Benny nipped in and out the queue picking up everything he wanted but I played it safe and stayed in the queue. Missed out on the spring rolls. Again.

Went to training this morning. I saw Jonas heading towards the last exercise bike. I could have beaten him to it but let him have it.

Boss told me he wants me to be more assertive and get past other players. I told him I’d try. I’ll get the exercise bike!

Went to Nando’s afterwards. I decided to be more assertive and told them what I wanted straight away. The traffic warden told me I couldn’t park my car on double yellows outside the restaurant.

Boss told me that he was going to play me today. I told him I was going to be assertive just like he asked.

At Old Trafford and in the changing room, Carver told me to get past players with my pace. I ran out onto the pitch first.

Getting the hand of this assertiveness now.
