MADRID, 16 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Brazilian forward of Valencia CF Samuel Lino is clear that they see themselves with “greater confidence” for this second part of the season after the good image they gave in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid and that he believes that will be translated “in a path of victories”.
“The team is confident, the match against Real Madrid in the Super Cup has given us greater confidence. We are training well and I think we are going to improve a lot now, and we are going to continue on a path of victories”, Samuel Lino wished in a interview with the club’s official media published this Monday.
The player on loan from Atlético de Madrid stressed that despite the defeat on penalties, the “motivation” and “confidence” in the locker room “have increased”. “We have to keep working hard and be prepared. The Cup is difficult and LaLiga too, so we have to work hard and rest well for these games that come to us every three days,” he said.
“The coach always tells us to carry on and have confidence, that things are going to turn out well and that nothing happens. We have to be mentally strong,” Lino stressed, “very happy and pleased to be here with Gattuso and his coaching staff” . “The important thing is to be on the field and add minutes. Wherever the coach puts me, I’ll try to give my all, whether it’s on the wing or in the middle. I want to give my best to improve the team,” he added.
The winger hopes that this improvement will begin to be reflected in “a very difficult match” in the Copa del Rey against Sporting, “a team with quality, with good strikers, good defense and a very nice stadium”.
“It’s going to be a great game and a great challenge for us. We’re going to work hard to get to this game well and be able to go to the quarterfinals. We know how important the Cup is for us, so I hope that this year we can reach the final and we can give this title
to Valencia”, he added.
Finally, Samuel Lino has words of thanks to the fans. “My words for her are always thanks. I will always be grateful to the fans for everything they do for us. I am convinced that we are going to have a great season to make them happy,” he concluded.
