Midfielder Franck Moussa is happy to play waiting game at Leicester City
By LCFC | September 9, 2010
Midfielder Franck Moussa says he is happy to play a waiting game for his big break at Leicester City.
The 21-year-old Belgian midfielder has been used off the bench in City's two Championship matches since arriving on a free transfer from Southend United last month.
Moussa did start in City's Carling Cup win at Leeds and looked impressive in a reserve-team defeat to West Ham on Tuesday.
City boss Paulo Sousa has said that Moussa is a player for the future who would not be rushed into first-team action.
"What happens is up to the manager and all I can do is try to impress him whenever I get the chance, but I'm happy to be patient," said Moussa.
"The lads have made me very welcome and the manager is trying to make it easy for me, so I don't have any complaints.
"He was the main reason I came to the club and now I'm working hard to adapt to his style of play."
Moussa played more than 100 games for Southend during a five-year stay with the Essex club, so being on the bench is a new experience.
"It is what it is. The manager has a squad of good players and I'll add to it when I can," he said.
Moussa had his first taste of Championship experience as a 17-year-old when Southend played in the second tier during the 2006-07 season.
"I've had a taste of what it is like playing in big games, and now I've got more experience I'm confident I won't be fazed by anything when I get my chance."
Moussa was one of the reserves' stand-out players in the clash against the Hammers, which was settled by a goal from the visitors after just 16 seconds.
He said: "It was one of those games where we started sloppily and were punished but after that we settled down and there was a lot of quality play out there.
"But it is one of those training-ground matches which are all about fitness. It is important I am ready if called upon by the manager."
