Sobrino: "I'm ready to help in whatever way I can"

The striker is in contention for a place in the starting XI against Villarreal CF on Thursday

Rubén Sobrino is one of the players available to feature in Valencia CF's Europa League tie against Villarreal CF on Thursday night, and he chatted to the media the day before the important European encounter.

Returning to action

Any player who has spent 3-4 weeks out has the utmost excitement about being able to participate soon. Since day one, I’ve tried to do everything within my power to get to 100% and be able to help the team however I can.

Keeping concentration high

We are putting maximum focus on this game, as anything can happen in football. I think that we’re prepared for that, and we’re facing the game with the utmost motivation -knowing that football is unpredictable.

Earning a place in the starting XI

It’s very difficult to get into the starting lineup, regardless of whether the strikers are scoring goals or not. They are sufficiently talented to play here. In my case, from the moment I got here I knew that there was a lot of competition for places. I do everything I can to help the team.
