Tens of thousands of you voted in our 'Best Goal from the first half of the season' poll. Now OM's first goal for 2008 has placed the bar very high… on Sunday, Lorik Cana spoke about his magnificent goal and discussed his attacking role in certain phases of play.
Talk us through your amazing backward scissor-kick against Beauvais last night...
The opportunity presented itself. I just followed my instincts. That's what happened, and it came off, so much the better for us.
Is that the first time you've scored a goal like that?
AS a professional, yes. I scored quite a few like that when I was younger and playing at centre-forward. The o9lder I've become, the further I stay away from goal. By that logic, I'll end up as a goalkeeper (laughs).
Did you surprise yourself by pulling this kind of move off?
No, because I've done it several times in training. I always try to bring something extra to the team on set pieces. I think I can score 3 or 4 goals per season. I'd love to score more to help our attack, but it's certainly not my priority.
