Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos says he didn't suffer nerves on his Champions League debut this week.
Remarkably, Amos, who became a keeper by accident when his Sunday league team found themselves a man short one morning, was not affected by nerves.
If anything, he was worried because he was too laid-back.
"I felt calm," he said. "I wasn't nervous beforehand at all. My confidence is growing the more I improve. Whether it is 70,000, 100,000 or 30,000 when you are playing, it doesn't make a big difference."
Nevertheless, he headed straight off to see his parents after emerging from the dressing room, relaying their pride at watching their son in action.
"The pace was a lot faster," he said.
"At this level it is all about concentration. Anything can happen at any time.
"The opposition have match winners who can produce something out of nothing. It means after a game, you are mentally tired more than anything.
"I don't want to over-analyse but I was pleased with how it went.
"Distribution is normally a big strength of my game and that was a little bit hit and miss, which was disappointing, other than that I was happy."
