Real Madrid star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao looking to justify his price tag – Report
Former Benfica star Fabio Coentrao has said that he is looking to repay the money Real Madrid invested in him by proving his abilities on the pitch.
Plying his trade with the Eagles, he gained ravenous reviews for his glittering performances on the domestic stage. His attacking prowess coupled with his defensive solidarity made him a lethal player on the wings, earning him a berth in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 lineup
at last year’s World Cup and eventually making the 23-year-old one of brightest stars of the tournament.
His displays eventually convinced the Whites to part with a mouthwatering €30 million and they sealed the deal earlier this month. While he is highly regarded by teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and manager Jose Mourinho, Coentrao is keen to justify his hefty
price tag.
"I want to prove I've got sufficient quality to be worth any amount. I will be confident as I work on this team." The Portuguese said.
The Portuguese International also said that the exorbitant fee paid by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 could either prove to be a blessing or a source of added pressure in the coming months for him.
"Time will tell if the price of my transfer is an honour or whether it adds more pressure on me. I can only respond on the pitch," Coentrao was quoted as saying.
His friend and now Los Blancos defensive partner, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-Carvalho-c30973, endorsed the transfer policy of the Spanish giants claiming that new signings will take the team to greater heights and develop the side into a stronger force.
“Our new reinforcements are very good. It's still soon to talk about them, but I believe they will make the team improve." Carvalho expressed his ideas.
Coentrao has shown that he is capable of becoming the best left-back in world with Benfica and is often compared to legendry http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317.
However, playing in the one of the best and biggest clubs in the world alongside illustrious Kaka, Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo is a different proposition altogether. Only time will tell whether the Villa-Conde-born wing-back can replicate his scintillating
performances in Spain’s highest division or buckle under the pressure of Galactic expectations.
