National midfielder Jermaine Hue said he will not get carried away by recent statements made by Reggae Boyz coach Theodore Whitmore that other than himself, the most creative player that he has seen in the country is the Harbour View talisman and that he still has an eye on him.
Hue confessed to being flattered by the statement but said nice things have been said before but nothing happened.
"I heard the comments and to tell you the truth it feels good coming from such a top player as Theodore Whitmore, an icon in the country's football," Hue told The Gleaner last Wednesday just before watching his team fall 0-1 to Arnett gardens in the Digicel Premier League.
Open mind
"As it relates to the national team I did not really feel excited because talk has been made before and I have not been selected so I just keep an open mind when it comes on to the national team," added the 32-year-old who has divided opinions on his usefulness to the national team.
Hue said he will focus on playing his best for his club and allow things to fall into place.
"I always do my best. Whenever I am on the football field I perform to the fullest for my country, club and teammates and I will continue to do that. Last year I think I had a brilliant season when we won the championship," explained the St Thomas native.
Despite his performance Hue said there is still room for improvement.
"There is always room for improvement. Last year I scored two goals and did some good work in the midfield - even defensively but mostly in the attacking area. What I think I need to improve on now is the goal scoring," he said.
Hue ... I always do my best. Whenever I am on the football field I perform to the fullest for my country.
