Chelsea record signing, Alvaro Morata has admitted he’s under
pressure following his £70.6million move to Stamford Bridge from Real
Madrid.
The 24-year-old Spanish striker was faced with criticism when a missed a penalty in the Community Shield against Arsenal.
When
in an interview with Marca if the price-tag was weighing on him, Morata
replied: ‘I admit it’s a very big amount, but I have the personality to
play quietly and go my way.
‘I have had only
two pre-season games, 15 competitive minutes and a missed penalty… and
they’re already killing me, so I know what’s ahead.
‘It
is the price that must be paid for such a large transfer. And it’s
something that motivates me and makes me work harder every day. I know
twice as many people are paying attention to me.’
Morata
who’s not going to let the fans criticism come in between him also
revealed that he will repay them with more than 20 goals in the new
Premier League season.
‘I want to score more
than 20. It’s my job. But it is not an obsession for me ahead of winning
titles for the team. For example, when I was with Juventus I did not
score more than 20 goals.
‘But
I won all the titles except for the Champions League. I have scored 15
or 16 goals and won titles. And other strikers have scored 35 and not won
anything.’
