Adrian: "It's good for the team to have competition and everyone to be at their highest level"
Adrian Lopez is working hard to have a bigger role in a team that needs him at his best for the decisive phase of the season.
Adrian Lopez appeared before the media on Wednesday 20, on the day that his website www.adrianlopez7.com was launched. The Atletico striker said that "it is important for people to follow me a little more closely. I think those things are always good."
The Atletico International said that "when you have fewer games you want to work and try to be the best level to play when you are called upon. I feel good and I'm going to work hard and train like I am. When I do go on, even if it’s just for 10 minutes, I do my best.”
Adrian hopes to return to the starting line up because "you always have to work for it. Any player works to be in the team and that goes with the pride that must be taken. It is normal but here there is a lot of competition and the other players are doing the right things and not just in the attack, in the middle and the defence there is a lot of competition. That is good and everyone has to be at the highest level and that makes the team do as well as it is doing."
I've always felt the love of my teammates and the coaching staff and that is important. I’m really grateful for that
As to whether we’ll see more of the Adrian who had such a good season last year, the Spaniard said "there are days when things do not go your way. Now I'm not playing too much because the team is doing well and is hard to get into the team. What's left of my mind is to be at the best level possible, train the best I can and when I’m called upon to play, I try to do very well. That's what I want."
He recognizes that "I've always felt the love of my teammates and the coaching staff and that is important. I appreciate it and I’ll I have to do is train hard and when I get the chance to try go out and help the team."
Finally, he spoke of his teammate Diego Costa. "The truth is that he is doing very well. He is play at a very good level. We knew from the beginning he would be a very important player for us for all the things he brings," he said.
