The 18-year-old attacker is looking forward to a profitable time in Cantabria to secure first team credentials ahead of the upcoming Serie A season, with Fiorentina.
Final day of the winter transfer window saw Babacar arriving at El Sardinero on a six-month loan. In his limited time in the Iberian Peninsula, the 18-year-old reflected that life in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926; however, he is finally adapting
to the new environment.
With a tall order in front of him, Babacar stated that he is determined to prove his worth in Spanish top flight football, in order to stake a claim at the Stadio Artemio Franchi next season.
Comparing Serie A with La Liga, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 U20 star was of the view that Italian football is more physical while in Spain the players are afforded more space.
“I have found it different in La Liga but I am starting to adapt to it,” he said.
“The ball is moved more quickly whereas in Italy it is more physical, but I am settling in. However, I would like to return to Florence next season but you never know. I don’t know where I will end up but I’d certainly like to continue in a purple shirt.”
Babacar joined the Florence-based outfit in the summer of 2008 but failed to make his mark on the first team. The Thies-born attacker made 18 first team appearances for Fiorentina in the last campaign, hitting the back of the net a paltry 3 times.
He was deemed surplus to requirements for the current season, and was shipped away for more first team opportunities. However, irrespective of the recent turn of events in Babacar’s life, the towering striker still has Fiorentina in his heart.
“I follow the news from Fiorentina every day but fate depends on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Good-Luck-c39444 and bad luck. Florence is a city that always wants to win and it’s normal I am always close to the Viola” he insisted.
Babacar will have to step his game up, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Santander find themselves consigned to relegation slots after 24 La Liga fixtures and they are 3 points adrift of safety.
