Watford are flying in the Premier League this season
and their goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes believes he is in
the form of his career.
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes revealed he sometimes
wakes up in the morning with pain but said he feels he is in the
form of his life.
Gomes is joint top of the clean sheet charts in the Premier
League this season with seven in 16 appearances.
The former Brazil international has been a key figure in the
Watford side who sit seventh in the league table.
And despite waking up with pain some mornings, Gomes
believes he is playing the best football of his career.
"I feel at my best and I am sure I am in the best form of my
life," he told the Daily Mail.
"Sometimes I wake up a little bit with pain but I'm used to it."
Gomes has suffered from a sore neck since a collision in
Watford's clash with Aston Villa at the end of November, but
admits he cannot pull out of challenges like that.
"That is the type of ball I cannot leave," he said. "I've had so
many problems because I am brave in a situation like that.
"I may not be putting my life at risk, but I know if I make a
mistake I know I am going to be criticised. But I cannot leave a
ball like that alone. I am not doing my job if I leave it."
Watford will be looking for claim a fourth successive Premier
League win when they host Liverpool on Sunday.
And Gomes believes Watford owner Gino Pozzo can turn the
club into one of the biggest in the country.
"This can be a very special club in England," he said. "The owner
knows football. His family have been in football for many years,
he is here almost every day and the players can feel the owner
is here.
"He came into the canteen to check the food was good. He
came into our changing room to check the shower was OK.
When he said it was not good enough, the next day it was
changed. These tiny things he cares about and the players know
we need to give him something back.
"I believe he can take this football club to a big level, the way he
cares about the players."
