Caoimhín Kelleher expressed that he has heard he is the best No 2 goalkeeper in the Premier League and appreciates the compliment, but he wants to become a No 1 goalkeeper. He emphasized that he has played significantly over the past two seasons and sees this as an important step in his career, aiming to demonstrate his capabilities as a No 1.
You can get almost emotional because maybe it was a dream that I've given a little bit up on coming towards the later stage in my career. I've just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford. Of course, there's always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.
