The Uruguayan says that gaining maturity by playing at the top for many years has helped him become more confident of his ability.
Cavani believes players should always aspire to be consistently solid over many years rather than just having a couple of good games every season.
When asked about whether his experience has helped him adapt well to life at Man United, Edinson Cavani said: “I always think that, in all aspects of life, a person’s maturity is important because it helps you to resolve problems more quickly.
“As they say, to find a short-cut and make things a little more straightforward. And it’s the same in football. I think that, in football, you start to gain in maturity, and begin to grow in experience and confidence.
“That means that, as the years pass by, you feel better in yourself, and feel in good nick and you start to feel that you can really compete, having been constantly involved.
“So yes, I feel that experience is hugely important. In spite of the fact that there are many talented guys out there, lots of gifted youngsters, I firmly believe, and I’ve always said that in football, it’s not all about having one, two or even three good games.
“What you really need in football is to compete hard and to be consistent. It takes a lot of self-discipline to enable you to become really consistent. For one, two, three, four years, that’s how you gain in the maturity which will enable you to get to that required level you need to compete.”
Cavani has definitely made good use of his experience to put in some solid performances for United recently. He starred in our win over Fulham and that will give him more confidence to continue his goal-scoring record and help the Red Devils stay ahead in the title race.
