R. Santa Cruzas: "Tired of sitting on the bench" © EuroFootball.com

The striker of the German champions Bayern Munich, Roque Santa Cruz, expressed his desire to leave the German club and move to England or Spain, motivated by the lack of playing time he receives on the field.

"Spain or England would suit me best," the confident footballer said. "I want to play, I miss it a lot, and I would like to feel again what it means to be a footballer."

However, the striker, whose contract with Bayern is valid until 2009, emphasized that he understands not everything is in his control, and he will respect whatever decision the club makes.

"I will respect the club's decision in any case, but I don't want to be paid for sitting on the bench," said R. Santa Cruz.

The Paraguayan arrived at Bayern in 1999. With his talent at eighteen, he was seen as having great potential, and in the 1999/2000 season, he scored five goals. However, in this season, at the age of 25, the striker only managed to score once.
