Completion of Atletico Madrid’s second training session saw Silvio talking about his stay at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Calderon and his plans for the future. The 24-year-old admitted that he had a poor debut season with the Madrid club but is gunning to overcome the problems
for an improved second.
Silvio made a paltry 9 league appearances for Atletico Madrid and failed to add to his tally after constantly suffering at the hands of untimed injuries. At the start of pre-season training, the Portuguese versatile wing-back revealed that he is eagerly
anticipating start of the new season
Los Colchoneros youth academy graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanfran-c19849, will be Silvio’s competitor for a place in the first team. The former Braga player can play on either flanks but revealed that he is targeting the right-back slot to make his very own.
"Last season I had bad luck, now I feel fine," he said. "I feel better on the right and it is the position for which I will fight. Not be easy, but everything in life is gained through work."
Atletico Madrid take on the challenge of Chelsea with the UEFA European Super Cup title on the line. Silvio revealed that he wants to start the season in earnest against the Stamford Bridge outfit as he has a ‘score to settle’ after the disappointment of
his debut campaign.
"If the Cholo wants to play me against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, I'll give it all to help the team," he stated.
"It is true that I have a score to settle with Atletico because I started well but then could not. He was always injured. I think the games I played last season I did well. Was difficult, but made me grow."
Los Rojiblancos had a poor start to the campaign that continued until the end of the first half, where they parted company with Gregorio Manzano while languishing in 13th place.
Silvio claimed that Atletico Madrid will have to start the season with full intensity and make sure that their drive does not dry up for the rest of the season to earn qualification for UEFA Champions League.
