| Armando Brtoja speaking at ta press conference before the match with Chelsea |
Armando Broja appeared in front of the media yesterday at the press conference in front of the Champions League challenge that Chelsea plays in the midweek to Dinamo Zagreb. The Albanian striker has talked about the team's situation but also about his ambitions to explode in the first team.
"Everyone knows that Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, so it will always be difficult to become part of the team and do well. I was very enthusiastic when I first played in the Premier League and it was a good starting point for me.
This is a good first step for the opportunities that will appear to me, I will try to show myself in training and in the field, to give me the opportunity to show what I know.
In a club like Chelsea, it will be difficult, competition is high so I know it will not be easy, but I will try to pass this stage.
I am a player who plays in a very redeeming way. I like to play football so when the coach trusts me to have an impact on the playing field, I do my best to help the team with a goal, an assist or just playing well and trying to create some occasions for the team. Everything has to do with positive opportunities.
It is up to the coach what team chooses, he chooses the team and whatever it is, whether I am in the lineup or not, I always give the best for the club.
Many new players can get bored when they don't have many minutes of the game available, but I try to see the positive sides and try to develop as a footballer and person.
Working with the highest level players around me has a positive impact so I try to save this in training, I look forward to the opportunities the coach gives me and try to do the most when it appears. For me it is encouraging that he trusts me to get into the field and have an impact on the match and change the team's performance.
I see Chelsea as a great opportunity for me and my family. This is the childhood club, I will try to do my best for myself and for the club. I will do my best to get into the title lineup, secure the first team and get as many as possible. For me it is an important step from where I was in last season where I am now. So I will continue to try to improve as a player and as a person. This is my goal, to get better. In Chelsea is a good opportunity.
Motivated to Dinamo Zagreb? Every match is important. It doesn't matter to me who the opponent is in front of. Only self and performance matter to me. If we appear as we are prepared and trained these days, we will get a result, but we focus on ourselves, on our team. We know it will be hard to be a good team, but we will focus on getting the three points and go to the stage with direct elimination
We know they are a good club, they have reason to fight because they want to go to the Europa League so it will be a difficult match. But we need to focus on ourselves and we will try to go to the stage with direct elimination in good shape.
