Atsu: I am training hard to impress the gaffer
On-loan Everton attacker Christian Atsu is determined to prove his worth to the Goodison Park faithful and says that he always wants to help his team and do his best.
Atsu admits that he endured a frustrating start to the season but has returned from the African Cup of Nations full of confidence and hopes to start using that on the pitch in the Europa League on Thursday.
“I want to help my team to win and in such situations I have to do my best,” Atsu told evertontv. “When I got on the pitch I wanted to do something to make the fans happy. It’s true that I am very happy to have assisted with the goal.
“It’s always a pleasure to play in front of Everton fans. I am looking forward to the next game and I hope we will make them happy this time around.
“I am always training to start games. I don’t know what the gaffer will say but I am working hard and we will see what will happen [on Thursday].”
“I came here to put smiles on the faces of the fans,” he continued. “At the start things were not going as well but after the AFCON I am full of confidence and ready to give my best to the team.”
